Just so nobody gets a surprise -- I've had experience with a total of three
Bosch pumps and two Piersburg pumps.  The Piersburgs have a noticeably
higher-pitched sound which is more audible inside the cabin than the Bosch.

Construction quality seems equivalent, i.e. excellent.  The Piersburgs are
smaller diameter and have a rubber sleeve (IIRC) to bring them up to the
Bosch diameter.
