I have 2 PIS Advanced (one that I leave at work because I commute by train and it's heavy!) and I love it. The 2-phase expression setting is really useful for me, I change to the "second phase" when I feel the let down and then I pump faster.
From the product description on Amazon:
The most important difference between the Medela Pump in Style Advanced model and the Original is that the Advanced pump includes a pretty remarkable feature that actually mimics a baby’s nursing rhythm by pumping in two distinct modes: let-down and expression. In the first few moments of nursing, babies initiate faster milk flow by suckling rapidly. After the flow is established, baby switches to slower, deeper suckling for maximum milk flow in less time. The "Natural Expression" system simulates this two-stage pattern for a highly efficient, effective pumping experience. In other ways the pump is similar to the also first-rate Original: a stylish and professional looking black shoulder bag houses the pump with adjustable speed and vacuum control, along with battery pack, AC adapter, four bottles with lids, bottle stands, "PersonalFit" breastshields, removable cooler carrier with ice packs, bottle holder, extra storage pockets, and a built-in picture frame for a photo of your pride and joy. The advanced model also includes CSF breastmilk bags, a padded carrier case for the battery pack, and a removable motor bag. --Emilie Coulter

Isn't it just a different name for the same product? I always thought some just left off the "advanced." I searched for just PIS and couldn't find anything.
Thank you for that! Target has their pumps on sale and I bought a bundle one and realized it said pump in style and not advanced. I didnt know there were two options and its roo late to cancel the order so guess ill just return when it comes in.
