Night feed options, Perfect Prep or Rapid Cool?

I am expecting DC2, with DC1 several years ago we used a Perfect Prep machine and to all intents and purposes we were very happy with it, made feeds very quick and easy especially through the night. After a while we suspected DD had reflux so switched to a Rapid Cool for the majority of feeds as well as anti reflux formula, but we continued to use the prep machine through the night as the rapid cool took 3 hours to reset and she sometimes needed feeding more regularly than that.

I had been planning on just getting a rapid cool again this time around as I’ve seen prep machines getting a lot of flack on social media, and to be honest I have no idea whether there was any correlation between our prep machine and DD’s reflux. My issue once again is that I don’t know whether the rapid cool will be sufficient for regular night feeds especially during the newborn phase.

Apart from getting two separate rapid cools; does anyone have any suggestions?

We buy ready to feed bottles, keep a mini fridge upstairs for excess and warm it up in a bottle warmer. They drop night feeds very quickly so isn’t too expensive x
