Bikes: Catrike Expedition

I've been advised to stay away from the sun products. What about WizWheels or Actionbent? They're in my price range (so long as the wife doesn't catch wind, anyway!). I'm a slacker at heart, and the ability to park my bike somewhere and take a catnap w/o falling off appeals to me.
I feel you'd be better off test riding before deciding what to buy. But I'm under the impression that Actionbents don't have any dealers per say, so the only way to test ride one is find someone that owns one. Before I bought my Catrike(bought it lightly used, saved a bunch of money), I test rode everything I could.
