The machine in TFA is maybe a bit deceptive, it's actually hardly more than a pump. The Argos and Meticulous are much more complex. They have both struggled scaling up their operations, which is a complexity shared with all manufactured products, however I'd be curious if this machine fetches that many orders (both those machines are in the thousands of orders).
There's some discussion in the Decent Diaspora (Decent's private user forums, for other readers), but I'd have doubts about simply dropping in these pumps with no changes in firmware. The Decent relies on the rapid (near instant) response of vibe pumps to make constant adjustments to the water mixing.
Aside, 8ml/s is more or less accurate. Some people have gone a bit above this I believe even up to 10ml/s, but it's a bit of luck and your electricity.
You're right, they are more complicated machines. It doesn't seem like the velofuso machine has a heater, so that's a huge difference.
The pump is pretty cool though, I hope they can deliver on that. A lot of people will buy that and it will open up cool innovations for new machines. I hope they patent the pump.
