Tommee Tippee pumps

I'm looking into purchasing my own breast pump and have been interested in the Tommee Tippee double electric breast pump.  I work full time and am on the larger size (DD) and I wanted a silicone flange for more comfort and a better fit.  I have been using a friend's Ameda Purely Yours but am wanting something a little smaller and softer.  I own a manual Medela Harmony and it is certainly more comfortable than the Ameda, but there is no way I can pump both sides in the 2 15 min breaks I have a day.  Has anyone used the Tommee Tippee double electric pump and how does it compare with the Medela?  I know the Freestyle has soft flanges, but it is sooooo much more expensive.  I'm just wondering if this is a good alternative.  I plan on BF as long as possible (going on 10 months already!) and this is my first child, so I wanted something a little better quality that will last if we are able to have more children.

Also, since my son doesn't really care for bottles, he uses sippy cups.  The only one that we have had success with is one of the Tommee Tippee ones, and I use those bottles to pump into.  So it would be convenient to use the TT pump for that reason too.

I don't have any input on your question about the TT electric pump, I only have a TT manual pump, which I like. TT makes an adapter so you can use their bottles with a different brand pump. It's like $5 at BRU. Just in case you go with a different pump.

I had a TT electric pump and it quit working a week in. I exchanged it for a Medela. That was just my experience! I feel that the suction is better than the TT.
