9 years later, I still haven't switched. I am installing a VFD. I say installing because the Hayward Tristar I installed on Friday was dead. A new one is coming on Monday.
Based on the VFD calculations, the energy savings in less than one year is equal to the price difference. And my electric prices are $0.079/kWh! $775 vs. $539. By running the motor slower, the power drops off, but the flow drops off more slowly.
