Nirvana is a great choice! I know some will debate it but I've seen a number of reviews where it will give the TRUE a run for it's $$. I don't regret buying mine for $35.

Just to let you know, the Nirvana is pretty noisy. If that's not an issue, I'd say go for it then.

It's only noisy though when it's running wide open at 2400 RPM. I have it at 1800-2000 and its just as loud as anything else in my system. It's simple enough to throttle it down a bit.
