If the new sump pumps are better than the old ones they will be one of the few things where new items are better than old! Most new items such as appliances, automobiles, or whatever seemed to be designed to fail and be disposed of instead of repaired!
The old ones were cast iron and steel, the new ones are plastic and tin.
