Pros & Cons
Pros
This newer model packs all the same performance in a much tinier package. The parts are big enough that i don't have to worry about losing when i wash them, and it’s very easy to assemble.
The sonata is quieter than the pump in style advanced. It's so comfortable that i usually have to do compression and keep squeezing to get that amount with spectra. For occasional pumping it has been great for me.
Sonata has a touch screen that is user friendly and lights up. It has bluetooth connectivity which we haven't checked out yet, but think it's for tracking. The mymedela app is very underrated.

Highlights
Quality
The parts are easy to cleaneasily replaced
Strong pump and easy to pick up and walk around with
Final off thing the numbers on the screen are sort of broken and always have been
Unfortunately after 2 babies and 3 and a half years breastfeeding and pumping between them she no longer holds a charge
Price
This pump is a little pricy but worth every penny in my opinion
It takes a little patience sometimes but its overall very worth the price to me
I had buybuybaby price match amazon to knock it down from 359 to 266
The symphony is simply a multi user pump which is why it is used in hospitals and cost 2500
Packaging/appearance
My box instead came with 21mm and 24mm flanges
You will definitely see the thing come on with call on the display indicating its broken and you need to call customer service
Competitiveness
It’s very quiet in comparison to what i’ve used in the past and is more efficient
Definitely compares to the ones at the hospital
It gave me so much more output than the pisa which didnt work well for me
But definitely smaller and more compact than many other popular choices out there

At first they see heavy and awkward

However they are much more durable than the pisa and symphony valves and membranes

The handle is a little awkward but it works if you’re trying to go the bathroom or get more water
