Built like a tank, no useless bells & whistles but you can get all the options you need (for us, Extra Rinse is important), and the warranty is much longer than for other brands. We have mechanical controls but SQ is now also offering electronic -- I prefer mechanical.
Best price, including delivery, when we got ours for Wolfeboro in 2010 was at Central Furniture & Appliance in Sanford, Maine; might be different now.
I'd also recommend springing for Floodchek hoses, which are so much better than other types that many condo association are actually requiring them for new installs in apartments.
