Wow - that's an awfully good price for the Schwinn!
Tomato - that Orbitrek is a BIG waste of $ unfortunately. It's really cheaply made to cash in on the elliptical craze. Reviews are pretty negative for it, claiming it breaks quickly, does not have a smooth motion, is noisy, and tips easily. Very important info on technical specifications is absent or well hidden on their ads. How heavy is the flywheel? What is the weight limit? How long is the stride? It looks really small - probably only 14". That might work if you are 5' tall, but at 5' 8", I find 18" is my minimum for comfort.
There are no good ellipticals at that price range, especially in Canada. With ellipticals, you really get what you pay for, and while there are five or six decent ones for under $800-1000, there are no good ellipticals in Canada for under $500.
