I'd say go for the Rotary pump even if you can't plumb it. You can
always just stick the hose in a big bottle of water. You don't get the
peace of mind of automatic shutoff if it runs dry, but that's the only
drawback I can see.
Vibe pumps do seem to fail every so often. I've yet to see a report of a
failed rotary pump on this list.

There is nothing wrong with the vibe pump. For a long time, it was the only
game in town for all home users. But with the Brewtus, you have an
opportunity: it is a lot cheaper and simpler to go ahead and get the factory
installed rotary pump when you are buying a new machine rather than to
contemplate trying to do it yourself at some point in the future.
If you feel that right now, you can't afford the extra 7.6%, then relax. It is not essential.
There has not been any systematic testing that has demonstrated that people can taste a difference
between the two pumps. But most users report that the quiet rotary is more "pleasant"
and just feels a little nicer to use. So why not just get the ultimate version and skip the
"gee, why didn't I do it" feeling down the road. With the current sale and the
newsletter deals, I think we are talking about ~$100. Perhaps you could hink of it as using the
sales tax dollars you save ... unless you live in NY and have to pay it. :)

Actually I don't plan on plumping in the Brewtus as I stay in a rented
apartment that doesn't allow me to do such stuff.
Is the vibratory pump okay?
