My wife and I got the Sole E-25, which cost about $1K. It's very sturdy and we've had no problems with it, even though we both use it 4-5 times per week.
I really enjoy it. I use it as excuse to play video games (the wife watches DVDs on the Playstation), so my half hour workout goes pretty quickly. Anything longer than that tends to get a little boring, though.
As for what to watch out for, I'd definitely try as many different models as you can. Each will have a different feel to it. About the only thing that bothers me is that I'm not able to keep my feet flat on the pedals the whole way -- my heels will lift off the pedals at the bottom. So this means that I'm pushing too much on my toes and they tend to lose circulation. If I remember to shift my foot position every few minutes, I'm fine.
As I'm sure you know, you should also make sure the stride length is reasonably long (at least 16"). This way you get a more complete workout.
