Medela In Style Advanced Tote vs Metro Bag

Besides the bag, I can't figure out what the difference is between the Medela In Style Advanced On the Go Tote vs the Medela In Style Advanced Metro Bag.  At least at Target, the Metro Bag is $349 and the Tote is $269, and I can't figure out why the price is so different.

Does anyone have experience with either of these and recommend one over the other?

    I have the Metro Bag, I don't think the pump itself is any different but with the metro bag the pump is removeable from the bag where as the all the other PISA the pump cannot be removed from the bag.  I like it being removeable and I like the style of bag better but it's $80 difference so you have to decide if it's worth it to you.

    I wondered the same thing when I registered, I went with the tote, I didn't need to spend the extra $ for the same pump in a different bag

    I don't have any experience with the Metro bag, but my PISA has been worth every penny! I pumped exclusively for 8 months for DD1 and have used it plenty for DD2, who is just now taking most feedings by breast instead of bottle.

    I have the metro bag I believe and the only difference as I recall is one is removable from the bag. I'd go with the cheaper at that price difference.

    I have the PISA backpack...the pump is removable although thus far I have seen no need to remove it from the bag. Do you have a Burlington/ Baby Depot near you? I got mine there for over $100 off ( it was on sale plus signed up for an emailed coupon).

    I got mine here also & found coupons in baby magazines.  Much cheaper than other stores.

    Thanks everyone!  I think I may go with registering for the Tote.  If it's not purchased as a gift, which I think is likely because of the price, I'll buy it myself someplace else likely for cheaper.  I did notice that Amazon's price difference between the two models is only like $20 or $30.
