Best Bluetooth speakerphone/car kit?

Excluding the install them in your car permanently/wire them to the stero ones (as it's a lease), does anyone have any real world recommendations for bluetooth hands-free kits to make me sound less like twiggy from Buck Rogers?

I've seen a lot of positive press on the BlueAnt ones, but is the $100 one really any good?

Tnx!

Real world recommendation: Recently my mom got a phone call from my dad, who asked how the sound quality of the call was. She said just fine, and was wondering where he was that he would call to ask that. At that moment my dad was driving his diesel pickup on the freeway, pulling a trailer behind it, and wanted to test out his Blueant (Supertooth II) car kit. I've used it a little bit myself and it seems to work well - just be sure to play with the microphone position a little to get the best quality.

$100 will also get you the excellent Jawbone bluetooth headset that has military-grade noise filtering and voice enhancement. It is a little tough to get adjusted on your ear properly, but it is lightweight and easy to use, and it goes anywhere (not just for the car).

I'm using the Parrot mini-kit , you just clip it on the sunshade and the sound quality is admirable. The only drawback is the battery, I have to recharge it almost weekly. In most countries it sells for less than $100

iLounge loves this simple rechargeable, removable option but I can't seem to find one on sale anywhere yet. I need the same thing and would love to try it out.
