I personally don't think you need to be spending over $100 on supplemental flow when you already have an mp40.. I have a hydor koralia 3rd gen pump supplementing my tanks flow it was around $60 and is completely silent and moves a good amount of water especially for the price. I think the extra money could be better spent elsewhere imo.
 
I got a jebao pump for my nano, but it pushes a ton of water... even on its lowest settings it is a lot of flow. It has various flow rates and programs.

I haven't had mine long [3 months] but it's working great for me so far with no issues. I paid around $40 for it on Amazon
 
Take a look at warranties with your next powerhead. I was honestly shocked to compare an MP40/60 1 year warranty to a Stream 3 5 year warranty. I just ordered 2 Stream 3's today. I'll be running them on a 220 along with a single MP40 wherever I think it's needed.

A Stream 3 is probably overkill in your case, but I'm giving Tunze a shot to see what they can do.
 
you don't need the reeflink to use multiple vortech pumps on your system. they just need to all be wireless. the reeflink just gives you a more user friendly interface for controlling the pumps. if all are wireless they find each other and you use the master to control your settings. i have been using 2 on my tank for a couple years and they work great.
 
I am a Tunze guy, so of course they are the best for me and I recommend them. If you cannot spend that much on them, look at AquaMedic EcoDrift. They fill a nice spot in between the Chinese Junk and super expensive stuff in both cost, performance and longevity.
