Feeling the Heat

All insert owners: What size of blower do you have or recommend. I have recently had to replace my fan motor on my R14 Regency and I am less than impressed with the output of the blower. The guy who did the work put in a 115 CFM fan , I believe the original was 135CFM. I can feel the difference and fear I will have to spend more $$ to get what I wanted originally. Just wondering what is your CFM output for your insert is...I am not getting enough heat back from my unit now with less CFMs.
 
My new Napoleon 1402 insert has two 200 cfm blowers. My old Arrow had two 125 cfms. One of the reasons that I bought the napoleon was for its two powerful blowers and I see a BIG difference with these fans.
 
save the money buy a fan and bring the cold air to the stove... you will notice how the hot air gets the heck outta dodge and into the rest of the house
