Best moderately priced pump?

I have looked at general pump recommendations (from past discussions) and noticed a lot of people enjoyed the medela and ameda  pumps. My insurance only pays a small amount toward a pump 28.00. Any recommendations on a more moderately priced double electric pump that would work for a working mom? I'm due in December and will return to work in Feb. I would like a quieter pump as I'm not sure how private my pumping area will be as I travel. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking at:
The First Years Breastflow MiPump
NUK Expressive Double Electric Breast Pump
Evenflow Advanced Double Electric Breast Pump

They all seemed to have similar reviews online, just wondering if anyone had used these or another pump that wasn't as expensive as the medela/ameda pumps. Thanks in advance!

    Ditto. Buy a cheap car seat (they all have the same safety standards), skip some other stuff that isn't really necessary, and get a Medela. I hated pumping, but I did like my pump better than any of the other options out there (I travel a decent amount, so got the Freestyle, and didn't regret that at all.)

    I have the evenflo and am a working mother and have had to pump while traveling. I've been pumping now for almost 7 months and still works great. I've never used the expensive ones but from talking with friends and looking At this board my pumping output was pretty typical.

    I agree w PPs. I was fortunate that my insurance covered a good one. I have a Medela double advanced. If I had to buy my own I would agree w going cheaper on other equipment and getting a great pump. It has made my life so much easier.

    Thanks for the feedback ladies :) I'm still debating... I have bought almost everything else already and am just trying to decide how much I can comfortably spend on the pump. Glad to see that some have had success with less expensive as I think that I how I will end up having to go. I appreciate all the comments.
