Although I don't have any yet, I've heard a lot of good about Bachmann Spectrum, but I've heard some negative as well. It seems to be that if you get a good one, it's great, but the chance of doing so only runs about 85%. If you get one and fall into the other 15%, though, I've heard Bachmann is pretty good about customer service and replacement of the unit. There are others in that price range that are pretty decent, too. I've recently acquired two Rivarossi FEF 3's that were each priced in the ballpark of $150. They are the newer ones and seem pretty decent, but from what I've heard, you want to stay away from the older ones. The Life-Like Heritage units have also had a lot good said about them in what I've read. I'm not sure which ones would fall into your price range, though. Good luck in making your selection.
