I have a Bron that I think I paid $135 for on a sale. One reason why I 
bought it.
It's sturdy and stainless and I use it very infrequently. It was 
purchased prior to blowing out the knee and finding out that I'd be
left permanently handicapped. I thought then I would do more feasts.
And of course I do no feasts at all these days.
http://www.chefdepot.net/mandoline.htm   has the bron on sale.

What I use for small jobs right now one of the cheaper Kyocera 
non-adjustable slicers.

It works great and makes the uniform slice. They also make an adjustable
and julienne one now. A couple of those might work as well. They 
certainly clean up faster and store in less space.

There are a number of new brands out that Williams-Sonoma, Sur La Table,
and Prof Chef are carrying.

has a bunch.
