OK many of you saw my previous thread. I have kind of narrowed down to these 2 choices. I will not go over the whole senario again, but will provide a link to those not famillar with my needs and situation for the stove.
Im trying to stay cheap so i am going with these 2 as a rough choich so far.
First is the US Stove 1,100 sqft heating model from TSC. It is $450. Which is way cheaper than lowes is selling it for at $800ish! The reviews on TSC are mostly poitive. I wish it was a tad bigger as the house is 1200sqft. But i think that includes a large closet and a porch that is not heated but enclosed.

The other is a Vogelzang Highlander on sale at NorthernTool for $499. Says it heats 1400sqft. The reviews on Amazon for this stove says it barely heats a room though. But something tells me thier draft and wood may not have been the best as others said it was good for the money and are heating thier smaller homes in my range fine?

I would like to hear comments on these 2 stoves and others in the price range. Sure i would like a NC30 but not for $900. And i am impatient and would like it for this year. CL seems to take way to much work and for me i have to drive normally at least an hour to get to most stuff as im in a smaller rural area. Thus the time and gas have a real value to me. And it seems even the NC30 end of year deals are not garunteed? If you have other suggestions in this $$ range let me hear it i will galdly look at anything. We are going to inlaws this weekend and i will be able to look at each in the store to get a hands on look at them.
