There are many to choose from, not sure about if any one of them is "better" than the MP, since no one (AFAIK) has done a side by side test...
For example: ±¦¶û»úµ¨»ú, it's quite a bit cheaper, but cosmetically not so hot imo...
In the same price range, Sinovt's entry model looks nice: À*·Æ¶ûµç×Ó¹ÜÒôÏì³§
The schematics are available for both of these companies, so you have a pretty good idea of what you are getting...
