I got my Diamondback Insight RS from Performance on sale for $199. Had to immediately replace the saddle and pedals as they were nothing but junk. Six weeks after I bought it I started popping rear spokes (I'm a clydesdale.) So I spent another $150 on some stronger Mavic wheels. Since then I haven't had any problems with it.
I didn't have a Performance store anywhere near me, so I did have to buy it online and assemble it myself.
