Save up just a bit more and go for the CHI. You can get them off eBay for under a hundred (I think I bought my sister one for $75), brand-new if you buy from a seller. I went through maybe five straighteners before I finally caved which probably totaled around $40 each, so I would have saved money had I gone straight to the top. The straightener works extremely well and doesn't cause as much damage as other straighteners do.
