Anyone know anything about the Freemotion 515 at Costco?

Hi all. I posted here a few weeks ago about considering an elliptical to try to lose some weight and to get in better shape overall. My wife and my goal is that if this is set up in front of a tv, it will hopefully encourage us to use this more to have a distraction like that. I also like the idea of Costco in case this ends up not working out then it will be easy to bring back. Of course I don't want to have to count on that, but I did notice they had one there and tried it out and it felt pretty decent actually. At $600, that is about the limit to what we wanted to spend besides. I notice a few online that they have but don't know if that is a good idea to buy one without trying it out. We also went to a few sporting goods stores and tried some out in this price range. I didn't like the cheaper ones with the front drive but the more expensive ones felt good, as does this 515 which is a front drive. Just wondering if anyone has run across this and your thoughts on it.
 
Well, just thought I'd come back here and say I tried it out a few more times at the store and liked the feel of it so bought it last week and put it together tonight. I just walked slowly on it for a bit to try it out and it feels smooth and is very quiet. I'll check back here in a while after I use it a few times and let you know how it goes. So it is probably best to start out slow, maybe 20 minutes a day 3 times a week at a pretty easy pace until I start to get used to it? Something like that?
