Pump sizing

Been learning a bit about pump sizing and the goal of going for the highest delta T allowed by the manufacturer.

Regarding the 155 unit, 

In this chart, is the wrong grundfoes pump listed for the relative Delta T?

Wouldn't the 26-99 pump  more ft per second or gpm than the 15-58? 
For a 20 degree rise use the more powerful pump, for a 30 degree rise use the slower pump?

    The 155 20F delta 15-58 pump should be in the 30F delta slot? Looks like a mistake.

    Get an ECM Delta T circ and let it do it’s job. Some boilers (Lochinvar sometimes) come with a 0-10 VDC circ and handle it with the onboard controller.
