    If your controller can also control a 2spd pump, then you'd ONLY run on high for pool cleaning, and run on low the rest of the time. I don't know if low speed is cheaper than VS, but the rebate and the difference in pump cost may make it a wash...and 2spds are probably simpler to maintain and fix.
