T&T: Icemaker recommendation

[Pascal Gademer]

i've never understood why these icemakers are so expensive and it's not like 
the Ulines are that reliable anyway (at least in my experience).

I'm considering an Avanti at $379 vs... what.. $800 for a Uline?

They also have $209 portable, 110v, stainless steel.  not only cheaper but 
using a reservoir so you can use bottled water in case you dont' trust your 
water tanks.  makes 35lbs a day which is pretty good.
