Pump squeeze volume and softness

I read some where that one brand had a higher volume of fluid per pump and one that was softer when pumping. Can anyone refresh my memory on which brand did either.

I have personally talked to 2 or 3 of the great doctors mentioned from the East Coast and all of them called me back within 1 day of email message. So far those on the West Coast do from several a ...
