Birdseed, in this post they talk about that alot. I think the conclusion was made that the highspeed motor actually is better for the rough cycle:

And I also thought that it was decided that they do sell the highspeed motor, or maybe you just have to specify for it...

If "higher RPM" motors were the "silver bullet" to speeding the tumbling process then all manufacturers would have 10,000 RPM motors attached to their products..Rocks fracture and chip more often at higher speeds-The roundness of stones is also influenced by the tumbling speed--MUCH MORE UNIFORM AT A SLOWER SPEED--The designers and product experts have already thought through all the speed variables and come up with the ideal speeds for their products--
