Medela pump question

I recently bought an Ameda Purely Yours pump and it works ok, but the fastest speed setting is pretty slow.  I get so much more out of my manual pump because I can pump much faster.

How is the speed on the Medela PISA?  Do you feel like you get a sufficient amount of milk?  Thanks!

ETA:  I should clarify that I don't own a Medela, but I'm considering getting one.  I'm wondering if would be more efficient than the Ameda I currently have.

    I only use the fastest setting n the Ameda to get let down.  Then I turn it slower and turn up the suction (just like a baby would do).  Works great.  How are you using it? 

    The PISA has an automatic letdown button and it is fast.  I only know how fast the Symphony is (hospital grade) not the PISA.  But assume they are similar.

    I found the highest speed setting on the PISA was unbearable for me, and that I was able to get a good amount at a medium setting. FWIW I have a Medela Freestyle now which I prefer greatly to the PISA.
