>My experience with Medela pumps is the same as yours.

Yaffa, I have a very large rental station also. I have found no difference
between these two pumps, and I find this discussion very interesting. We
have actually almost deleted the CLassic from our stock, as it is more
expensive, much easier to break/foul up, and heavy as the Dickens.

I have never had a mother complain about it. Just my humble experience.
