Maureen asks:

<< Just my two cents, but why would anyone want to pay that much money?  And
 how many people could afford it?  Looking at why the price increased from
 $219 to $288, it said that prices went up 4% and some "convenience" items
 have been added, like the CSF bags, a vehicle lighter adapter, and some
 lanolin cream.  Does anyone have any more insight into why they felt it
 would be a good idea to add all of this "stuff" to an already good product?

I'd love to know what the company says about this, but do you think they are
feeling the pinch of all those Lactinas lining the warehouse from all the
rental stations that have returned them in favor of selling the PNS?  Now if
a mom wants a long term pump, it will be less expensive to rent than it will
be to purchase a PNS.  And the company will make more money because more
rental stations will be renting pumps again.  I suspect they make far more
money on having rental pumps in rental stations than they do selling a rental
station a PNS.

Just MY $0.02.
