Take it from me DON'T get the Quadrafire,had the first one old style with a 3.5 firebox was a good stove,however both sides cracked,it was replaced under warranty,the new model with all the gadgetry was a dud got rid of it after 2 weeks,wouldn't heat or burn longer than 6 hours. The Englander is a good heater my friend has one,but it has a pretty healthy appetite for wood so he says doesn't bother him he has 100 plus acres of woods.
I think both are very good stoves. If you look at the 30 with legs, I think it very much resembles the 5700 - except the step top on the quad is higher.
No question the Englander is a lower cost stove. I also have no doubt the Englander will last a lifetime with proper care. The big benefit of the Englander, aside from the above is that if you decided to sell it later and get another stove, you will likely not loose as much $$$'s on the resale.
Good luck,
Bill
