Just curious if anyone has had a good experience with a particular brand and/or model Elliptical Trainer?

We are very hard on the ones we've had (around 3 hours use per day between the two of us) and usually get an extended service contract, which has actually worked out for us very well contradictory to what's usually reported about extended warranties. We've stuck with Horizon Fitness for many years, not because they are particularly good, but because they can be home maintained with the right hand tools. Were looking for an inertial drive, no motor resistance because that just adds more to go wrong. Also need something with less than 21" max pedal height so we don't bang our heads on the basement ceiling. I've done a decent amount of research and have two models in mind (Schwinn 430 or Horizon EX 59), but thought I'd throw it out to the Gameboomers crew to see if anyone has other possible suggestions/recommendations.

Thanks!
