You might want to look in other places as well. I found a SWB Rotator (no longer made) in the classifieds of the local paper for under $300, it was a bit old but in good shape. Bought by someone who thought he would ride it and did not, and his wife told him to get rid of it.

If you are at all serious about riding, I would suggest that you try to find something that is not terribly heavy. While one can certainly become able to climb hills well on a bent, it is intrinsically harder than a DF because you cannot stand (yes, I know you can arch, but I can climb standing for half an hour if I have to, I cannot arch that long), so no reason to handicap yourself any more than necessary. If you live in Florida, ignore the second paragraph!
