Medela PISA vs. Freestyle - which is better?

Are they comparable at emptying the breast?  I am currently renting a Medela Symphony but I need to buy my own portable pump for when I return to work.  The Freestyle looks great, but I worry that it's not as powerful as the PISA.  Thanks!

    I love my PISA.  I also bought one of these and it's been a great help for pumping.

    I wear a 34-F to 34-H bra, and I bought a size L in this bra, it fits perfectly.  I ordered mine through Amazon.  It's been a HUGE help at work, now i can check my email and eat a snack while pumping.

    I L-O-V-E my PISA. In fact, I couldn't get enough pumping output out of the Symphony (believe it or not)!

    I've had a friend say that the Freestyle has a very different pumping procedure. It's almost as if it vibrates the milk out of your breast, she says. She was an EP'er and she gave the Freestyle to a friend, because she just could not get enough out for her baby.

    I don't get how this bra works over any nursing bra.  Do you wear it over the nursing bra and then open the flaps of it and put the suctions through this? Seems odd and like wearing 2 bras...

    I have the Easy Expressions bra and it's really great.  You do not wear a regular nursing bra underneath.  You just wear the Easy Expressions bra and it holds the pump parts in place.  Most nursing bras are not snug enough to hold the pump parts in place.  FYI, some women make their own hands-free bra by cutting slits (not holes) in an old sports bra.
