I paid about £135-140 for the 25L one from seller Hi-fi Tower on eBay, very pleased with it.
Mini review here in my brew day thread. There's also some pics before and after that post if you scroll around.
I use the 3kW heater to bring it rapidly to the boil (or heat the mash water) then switch to 1500W to maintain it - I find this gives a good rolling boil without being over the top.
I use 15L water and based on the 3 brews I've done with it, boil off is about 3.75-4.0L per hour (similar to what I got on the kitchen hob)
The main issue is the temp sensor is about 4degC out on mine, but this can be managed. Just that it caught me out the first time.
For the mash I heat my strike water then effectively just switch the heater off - it's double skinned so it seems to hold temperature pretty well, even outside in the cold (actually I just set it to, say, 10degC below my chosen mash temp just to be sure it keeps warm)
I'm considering adding a pump but not sure I can be bothered with the extra faff. The reason I went for one without a pump is I only do 10-12L batches and worried the 30L models would be too big for my water and grain bill.
For leaf hops the grain basket also serves as a good hop basket. For pellet hops I just check them in. After the boil I let everything settle out for a few hours and magically so far it seems to settle just below the tap so I can drain the clear wort to the FV.
So I'd certainly recommend it, just that I would have said track the prices for a few weeks and wait for a good deal.
