Why the hard line on an oil pump? The Anova touts a "maintenance free dry pump", and a 2 year warranty. Do dry pumps die at 2 years and oil pumps need a top up? A look at eBay tells me China has got chamber vacs in the production queue. Some coming in in at less than $350. The Anova looks more controlled, with the ability to follow steps rather than just pump and stop. Is there really an added benefit to that? And is the microcontroller going to be a point of failure? I kinda doubt it.
