I'm thinking this is still a new market and, like microwaves, the
price will drop. Here are two units with heat/circ for under $200:

http://sansaire.com/

Expect more. As for the Dork controller, I imagine after a intitial

almost all are positive. Are 100+ ppl lying? Besides, I'm not
cooking for 2 doz ppl or even 4. Jes me, until I get the range on
this new cookifying methodopoly. woo!
