Expensive indeed. There are quite a few free ones out there.

@joe: ask skhan. I don't know of any free ones that would compare to that but I'd gladly point to them from this blog.
@skhan : Tell me more about the free ones. I am interested in at least one.
Not exactly the same league, but it's free:
