very much depend on/depend very much on

"Consumers are very price conscious at the moment but their purchasing decisions also very much depend on product quality, their income and market sentiment," he said.

I am a bit confused about the position of the adverb "very much".
Is there any difference in meaning if I use "depend very much on" instead of "very much depend on" in the sentence above?

Consumers are very price conscious at the moment but their purchasing decisions also depend very much on product quality, their income and market sentiment.

Thanks.
