Maybe time to back up a little and ask
1- what do you REALLY want out of the system
2- how much are you willing to invest into it


1" hose can be used on the funky T-1200's 1-1/8" fittings with a little persuasion and heat. But like NSCU is saying if you have manifolds and valves to deal with you may just want to gut them all and start from scratch like you are thinking with 6 pumps. My old setup had a single Rule 1100 pump with the line T'd to fill both rears, and each rear had it's own drain pump, all wired to the same switch. I didn't have any valves or manifolds - nor front ballast. My new setup has 6 pumps, 3 switches.

There's lots of debate on aerator vs. reversibles. Both are/can be good.

If you decide to go aerator pumps - I'd be happy to share some advice and pics from when I went through a complete install last year.
