Bob, Jim is right. The best way is a flow vs. pressure. The work to get
the fluid through the entire system is likely going to be more than what you
tested. I will bet dollars for doughnuts that the more expensive/larger
pump will perform better at the higher pressures.
Think of the difference between a cheap handheld electric drill, and a drill
press. Under no load, the hand-held drill spins much faster than the drill
press. But put on a load and the small drill quickly slows down and stops,
the drill press is unaffected.

It would be interesting to put a valve downstream from the pump and
close it just a tad (perhaps measure pressure drop across the valve or
perhaps across the pump) and see how a restriction affects flow.
Inquiring minds need to know :o) ... Jim S.
