Hey it seems that we have the same pumps and the same feelings about both of them. The Silca only gets used by my husband I hate it. My problem with this pump is that once it is attached I can never seem to get it off. If I don't push it on as hard air comes out when I pump. It is just so much easier to use the Joe Blow with the lever then I have no disconnecting issues.
