We have an evoke cf-6 as the kitchen radio. I quite like the internet radio option and sometimes listen to a station in St kitts!
It was bought as a factory refurb through ebay for about 129 I think. It did fail and had to be replaced but they made no fuss and I think we received a new one not a refurb the second time going by the box. Visually there was no difference mind.
I did look at Ruark stuff too but the cost differential wasn't justifiable.
