Allan, Having spent 10+ yrs in the TX/OK Panhandle I am familiar with your question. Chances are you are correct on your assumpition. There is no difference in the bowls for open discharge or pressured up. We converted numerious well from row water to center piviot. We used Valley 9 tower, electric drive, Ultra low pressure (20 or less PSI @ the Piviot) most nozzled @1000 GPM. Also W/regulators so each nozzle doesn't put out too much. Our well engines were HD 800 MM , 3306 Cats all on Natural Gas. Gearheads were 90, 100 Hp Amarillo, Also 120 HP Randolfs. Pump set @ 280 ft pulling water out of the Okalla Aquifier.
What will destroy your bowls is sand, or high pressure. Remember those old Valley water drives, w/ 90 PSI @ the piviot, What water works! They ate bowls in short order.
Sorry this is so long, There is no difference I know of. Doesn't mean that someone couldn't have made some.
Hope this helps.
