XP - Pumps - stm's advice wanted

So maybe it's because I get antsy spending a lot of money on something.  And this is all new to me.  But I've decided to go with the Medela Freestyle Double Electric Pump, it's pricey but I've had a couple people recommend it.  I know not to open it if I plan on returning it, but was hoping maybe I could hear from any STM's that have this pump and can make a girl feel better about spending the money haha.

    Not sure about the free style but I do know the brand is awesome, I have the pisa that was my sil and it's 11 years old and on its 7th child and it still works great so worth the money.

    I love my Freestyle. Before I went to work I loved being able to wear it around the house while I pumped.  Now that I have returned to work I don't pump at home, but I love the fact that it's small & light.  And no need to plug it in.  I pump 3x a day for >15 min each time, and I haven't charged it since LAST Sunday.  So I went 2 weeks on one charge.  I'll also add, FWIW, I have plenty of supply, so I only pump one side (as this mimics how LO only eats from 1 side at a time).  I get a minimum of 4oz, maximum of 5.5 oz.  I've never double pumped, so I can't attest to the pump power.

    I also have a hand pump, and from what I understand, every other Medela pump uses those tiny white membrane things, and the Freestyle has entirely different parts.  Whenever I would wash parts I was paranoid I'd lose that tiny membrane.  I know you can buy more... but still.  So, FYI, the Freestyle has different parts than other Medela pumps.
