Difference is 2-1 on the cost of the pump. Pump I bought is the Haldex-Barnes 16 gpm, 3000 max pressure 16gpm rated (20 max) on sale at Northern Tool for $184. Next one up is twice that, not on sale and out of stock. Valve is single spool 20 gpm max, open center at $70 at NT. Both products are specifically designed for log splitters.
On the few occasions that I can't bust a log, I have a 20# sledge and a good whack with that on the backing plate of my wedge does the trick.
Other thing you may or may not know is how to split a log. You split it the way it grows, from the bottom up. If you try to split it from the top down it may not split just to turn it around and have the wedge breeze through it.
