The WILDEN P2 is a 1 inch clamped Pro-Flo pump. The “stainless steel option” in the title is real: Wilden lists 35 stainless P2 builds alongside 34 in aluminum, 43 in polypropylene and 27 in PVDF. This page compares the two metal versions.

The stainless pump is almost twice as heavy, and the PTFE build loses a good part of its suction lift. If the pump must lift from a pit or drum, that difference matters more than the flow figure.
When stainless steel is worth it
Liquids that attack aluminum, such as many acids, alkalis and some cleaning chemicals
Process lines that need Tri-Clamp connections: 14 of the stainless P2 builds have them
Higher temperatures with the right elastomers and air side
For a 1 inch bolted pump instead of a clamped one, look at the P220 and XPS220.
