Suggestions for good, inexpensive control surface

I need a new control Surface, and have less than $1000 to spend on it.
Anyway, I need some suggestions on what would be the best option for the $800 price range.

Hi Betty,

more info! what software do you use, what computer, what was the old control surface, how many channels do you need, what features are you looking for...

you can read some things here at tweakhead: http://www.tweakheadz.com/control_surfaces.htm
to get an idea

I like to follow a manufactures suggestions, so if MOTU wants to see a particular control surface I'd start there. Mackie is solid stuff, but there are so many other companies that make good gear now.
