  I had the PIS and loved it.  It's what they use in the hospitals. If you're going to be pumping a lot it's definitely the way to go.

  I have the Freestyle and love it for it's size. It is super small so I can carry it around the house with me while pump and do chores. The hands free part of it isn't that big a deal, because you can make other ones hands free as well.

  But for the size alone I thought it was worth the money. No need to be attached to a pump that's stuck inside of a bag.

  I don't have experience with it yet, but I got the PIS Metro Bag.  I didn't like the built in pump feature, but this style has a separate compartment for the pump mechanism.  All of my friends who had pumps had the PIS, so that is what I gravitated towards.

  Are you sure it's the freestyle that you got and not the Swing pump? The freestyle retails for $379. I can't imagine them marking it down that much.
  I have seen the PIS and the swing on clearance recently at target though (I think it was the swing that was ~$100).

  For the OP- I got the freestyle. The hands free is a nice option, but mainly I like the smaller size and the ability to easily throw it into another bag. I'm planning to return to work part-time and the smaller/more portable pump seemed like a better option for me.
  They both get great reviews online though, so it just depends what features are important to you.
