I bought the Izip for $399 from that ad almost four months ago. I have logged 600 miles on it. My commute is 15-25 minutes rides four times a day. It works for for my particular needs. I am not familiar with any of the other models, but if you have any questions feel free to hit me up.

Here are some I've seen on CL:
