seems like a lot of their RnD would have come from the very same customers who complained and now get to spend another healthy chunk of change on their already pricey pumps...
I get charging more for the upgraded version that is quiet...but charging so much for fixing an issue like this just seems opportunistic and not very customer friendly.
The upside is that this should really drop the price for the older versions...who would want one now with the quieter version available?
