Great Adjustable Height Desk?

Anybody have an adjustable-height sit/stand desk they love? I'm looking for a sit-stand desk. I've read about the health benefits, and it makes sense to me. (I just spent 14 hours sitting at my desk today. In fact, I'm sitting here now. Gah.)

I'm not looking for just a standing desk like this, and I don't want to hear about the benefits (like this). I know I want it, and I want one that moves between sitting and standing positions, with a crank, or hydraulics, or electronics. Or lasers. I don't care how it moves (though I'd like it to be easy).

I'm in Austin, TX, USA; local's ideal, but shipping is OK.

AFC seems to have lots of options, but it's expensive - the basic model I picked out was quoted at $2300. That's a bit steep for a desk; I could consider paying that, but not sight-unseen. Lista Office appears to make a nice one: but the only US distributors I could find (1, 2) don't seem to carry the office line. Word is that Ikea used to make one, but don't anymore. Ebay led me to this one, but I can't tell if that's high enough quality.

Also, I have a two monitor setup, so I'd want something a little wider than this.

Mainly, I'm looking for an endorsement from someone who has and loves one. Anybody?
