Default which RODI?

Ok all, so it looks like I am getting a RODI for Christmas. My question is what RODIs would you guys suggest? I don't need anything big, I only have a 55 gallon that goes through about 4 or 5 gallons of evaporation a week. I would really like to stay below $150. So any suggestions? (Especially if said suggestions involve eBay, or what to stay away from.)

My fish better be happy with their Christmas present!

This will sound like collusion coming from me - but there are many happy people around here with RODIs from sponsor Air Water & Ice. Good value and comes with many high end accessories. (Click 'view sponsors') on top right of site.

Maybe some others will back me up.

I personally have a SpectraPure. They are pricey but great quality and they wet-test their membranes prior to shipping.

I'll be sure to check out that sponsor. Thanx everyone. If anyone else has any suggestions I'll be glad to hear them.
