Why don't you DIY?

It will "have the best price possible". You will possibily learn many thi=
ngs in the process and will have a lot of fun.

I'm making mine with a toaster oven, a PT100 sensor, opamps and of course=
 the magical PIC. Basicly it's a ohmeter (for the PT100 sensor) that cont=
rols the heater in a feedback loop to follow the temperature profile ~pre=
cisely and actively.

I didn't finish it yet (did I start it?) otherwise I would share it. If y=
ou can wait a couple of months I'll gladly share my design.
