Thanks, 7! I hadn't considered a reconditioned treadmill but that actually sounds perfect. Appreciate the links, too.

The research I've done so far indicates that True and Landice make solid, quality treadmills. You get what you pay for when it comes to an investment like a treadmill, so I would prefer more of a higher end model. I don't want a lot of high tech features (i.e., bluetooth or iPod compatible---I don't & probably won't ever buy an iPod (gimme back my turntable!), so I'd rather pay for a good motor, solid/sturdy components, etc.
