I'm a very big fan of K.I.S.S, and my free time is such that I'd rather just buy a proven solution than to fiddle with something and invent it myself. But hey, that's my preference. I'm certainly not saying someone else shouldn't develop their own solution if they have the time and desire, just that there is already a solution out there that does the job and is known quality.
I don't think an intank solution with a better jet pump is going to do it. My understanding of a jet pump has been the fuel flow from the electric fuel pump creates suction to pull fuel through the other side. So if the fuel pump is starved, there isn't anything to create suction. It wouldn't be too hard to test as you can buy a jet pump from radium for like 50 bucks. May be worth giving a try. I could also be totally wrong on my understanding of a jet pump, it's happened before.
