I was just in the same situation as you and after a decent bit of research I choose the Silver Surfers little (and cheaper) brother Da Buddha. I just got in about 2 weeks ago but man I am EXTREMLY pleased with it. Its really easy to use, heats up fast, solid design, 3 year warranty and lots more. The only thing I've found about it thats mildy annoying is changing the screen, but thats a pretty insignificant thing to have to deal with when I weigh it against all the pros.
So my vote is for Da Buddha
