I've not had the Oceanic but I can tell you that my NC24 is a year and a half old and the feeding lid hinges have broken as has the return pump. Because it is out of warranty JBJ won't do anything about it.
I second what Walrus said about dealing with the
LFS. They are the ones who are there when a pump breaks at 7
PM on Saturday night. If you have a relationship with your
LFS I'd also ask them if they can come down on the price. They may not be able to match the online retailer but they may be able to come down some. My
LFS has done that for me in the past.
