Best double pump on a budget?

I hired an ardo calypso from the hospital when dd was diagnosed with tongue tie to increase/maintain supply.

It is good, and I can get it for about £120, but wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the lansinoh double pump or the ameda lactiline?

I want to continue pumping after her first feed in the morning and during her big nap so she can have a little bottle - a couple of ounces - whilst I do bedtime with my 2 yo DS.

DS is with us on a Monday and a Friday, and so a double pump is far preferable to sitting attached to my medela swing for 20+ min for the same result.

I bought the Lansinoh after renting the Calypso and I much prefer it, it's less temperamental than the Calypso which kept cutting out on me and seems to have a better suction, although I didn't notice a massive increase in what I'm getting. But when the reviews of the Lansinoh say its loud it really is loud, I used the Calypso when watching TV with DP but feel bad doing it now because its much louder.

Have you tried looking on eBay? I got my ameda lacteline (which I loved) on there for £50.

The spectra 3 from amazon can be used as a double by adding on an extra shield set. It's a good pump and I get a tonne of milk with mine.
