Cozmo does have some incredible features from their recent upgrade (hypo manager, basal check) not available on Animas. The free software upgrades are a big plus. We have Animas and have to wait for and pay for our upgrade, could be in the $400 plus range, depends on when you purchased your pump. I am not happy with the software that comes with the pump, because our Animas does not store BGs and we do not use or want to use the BS meter that downloads onto the computer that goes with pump software. The newest model does, though, so that problem has been solved. Being a female, looks are everything to her, so she chose Animas. Animas is the smallest pump. And it has proven to be a great pump. Animas is doing a big upgrade again next year. Animas Reps-- let me just say that anytime I call tech support day or night, I get a callback within ten minutes flat! And technical problems were either solved or new pump sent and arrived within two days. I live in the U.S. though. I do not find the Animas at all difficult to operate or scroll through; neither did she, and she was eight when diagnosed. Very simple pump to use and operate; sturdy. At this particular moment in time, due to the upgrade, I would chose Cozmo. Whichever pump you choose, it is imperative you have good pump tech support in place for you 24 hours if possible.
 

Just an addendum to my last post. We personally could not get along without the .025 increments Animas offers. Our CDE told us the same thing, that we do not need and will never use this feature. These smaller increments have proven invaluable to us, we could not at the moment get along without them. Her current basal is about 10.5. She gets 29, 30 units per day. Love the .025 increments, although there is a away to get around this limitation on the other pumps by varying the basal and changing back and forth hour by hour.
