    I would look at reviews online and see which ones have the best ratings. You could looked at used ones as well. Some people buy em and never use em.

    My wife is selling her NordicTrack elliptical machine that we paid $800 for. She did't like it after buying it because she felt that the paddles were too stiff. For her, it became more of a resistance training session than a cardio workout.

    I use it once in a while and I feel fine on it.

    Anyway, I do think the model matters, Go to a sporting goods store and try one out.

    You can find deals on Craigslist.

    I'm in NY so mine is of little use to you. LOL. Plus, I just sold my anyway.

    Sears has good deals on sporting goods equipment. That's where I originally bought mine from.
