I have run pressure washers for years in our barns. Volume is as important as pressure, but for what you are doing, or will in a home setting, 3,000 psi and 2.5 gpm is plenty. It may take longer for some tasks, but no reason doubling the price of equipment.
For cleaning the concrete, my years in the service station and auto shops made me a fan of powdered Tide. Wet the surface, sprinkle the tide on the surface, and scrub with a stiff push broom to work in, DON'T LET IT DRY as it soaks, and then blast off. In the service stations we only used faucet pressure through a nozzle. However, it works quicker, and better, with the pressure.
Have fun!
