    Two bilge pumps or one big pump as secondary

    I am finally installing bilge pumps in my 24ft sunrunner. I currently have a 1500gph pump and I know I need more. I was thinking of using a 2000gph in conjunction with the 1500gph as sencondary pumps. Does it matter if I use 2 pumps or 1 big pump? I am planning on using a 600gph pump as primary.
