That's actually the third model I looked into. I got as far as hunting down a used one. The one I saw didn't have an electrical motor and that was a deal breaker. It's necessary, because otherwise, I wouldn't be able to go from standing to sitting many times a day without it becoming a chore. Plus, as you mentioned, It is indeed pricey. A new one with the motor option would have cost me twice as much as the desk I got. It seems like they have the reputation and quality though.
