Need opinions for an elliptical trainer. Looking to get a better quality machine, around $1300-$2000 range. Let me know what you think and where I can get a decent machine.

Brands I have been looking at online are Vision Fitness, and Octane. Please recommend others.

Thanks

Precor are the only machines that you can find where your feet wont go numb.

Cheap machines are crap. If you cant afford a Precor save up a bit longer and be happy owning a good machine you will actually use regularly.

Save up until you can afford it then, because believe, you will be PISSED RIGHT OFF when your ellptical breaks and now you're buying a second one.

looked at another brand, Spirit XE550 same one as the Sole 95 elliptical. Precor is good but, way too expensive for me. I've been reading review on the web and they say that the Spirit XE550 is a Best Buy.

Now just time to decide which ones to buy, Spirit XE550 (http://www.treadmillsensei.com/2007/07/spirit-xe550-elliptical-review-smooth.html)
