Wave maker vs wave pump

I am needing a new wave maker because mine now prefers to just stay on and be a full time power head.  My return pump is the stock AC 295gph pump...Ive wanted to upgrade it for a while but why I dont really know for sure :)

Option 1 - upgrade the return pump to a DC 528gph sine wave pump and skip the wave maker.

Option 2 - just replace wave maker

 

I am leaning towards option 1 because with the wave function I dont really need the pulsing from a separate device which has always bugged me visually.  

Pros and Cons?

I wouldnt use a return pump as a wave maker personally. You still have some water movement if you add in a circulation pump in addition to a return pump. You can get a jebao very cheaply if you just want to dip your toe in the controllable pump water, so to say.
