The noise was the only reason I didn't but an mp10 , will probably get one now despite the other problems .

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?

So has anyone done a good comparisons of the old MP10 vs the QD?

I borrowed a mp10wes to test it out and its nice however it still seems "loud" atlas noticeable from the couch a few feet away. i hear the whirl type sound from the dry side.

Does the MP10WQD have this same issue?
Is it actually much quieter?
