Medela, spectra s1 or 2?

Question

Here’s my dilemma, I currently have an old Medela pump in style that slowly been loosing suction on me, now my insurance is covering a new pump for me and my choices are
-new Medela pump in style
-spectra s2
-spectra s1 (for $13 out of pocket),
Here’s where it gets tricky, I’ve heard a lot of good things about spectra and would love to try it but I have a ton of flanges for my Medela which makes it great because I don’t have to wash it after each pump. Will I regret getting a spectra and if I did get it, would it be worth upgrading to s1-is suction the same?
I won’t be able to answer to everyone who posts suggestion-busy taking care of two under two, however know that I appreciate your response!

Answer

If you had a good experience with your Medela then why not just keep it?
I got the Spectra S2 through insurance bc everyone told me how great it was (all I really liked was the closed system) I kept getting clogged ducts and never felt properly milked. 
Paid out of pocket for the Medela pump in style and haven’t looked back! Only down side is the condensation in the tubes but as long as I run it on high when I’m done it dries out.

Answer

I have a pump in style and an S2. I like them both, but for me the S2 is better in a few ways: it’s quieter, it has a screen that shows how long you’ve been pumping for, it has more letdown mode options as well as suction levels and I find the suction more comfortable. 
Also the tubing from the pump in style works on the S2 so you can still use all your equipment like the flanges, even the valves/membranes are interchangeable!

Answer

I’ve never tried the medella, but most folks I talked to prior to my spectra s1 purchase have said hands down they’d go with the spectra over medella. I really like mine! I like that it is a closed system, the s1 is rechargeable so you don’t have to have an outlet, it has a night light, and has a 30 min timer. I would guess you might be able to get some sort of adaptor to use your medella bottles (maybe google it??).

Answer

I have a Madela sonata it tells you how long you pump and has a chargeable plug in so you don't have to plug it in all the time and has a light on it i like it gets the job done never used a spectra
