Where to buy gas fireplace?

I'm in the market for a gas fireplace insert for my basement. I just went to Fireplace 2000 (up by Duffering and Lawrence) and for a medium size insert, prices started at about $3000.
That's a litte more then i'd like to spend... I was thinking $1500 max... (is that even doable?)

The room this thing is going to be in is about 300-400 sq.ft, so a medium size fireplace is ideal.

Can you guys recommend a few other stores I should check out, where I can get a decent deal on an insert?

Nobody can recommend a decent place to buy a fireplace?

Friendly Fires in Peterborough. Worth the drive.

Take a good look at ones from H/D and C/T, they don't look good up close. They are cheap but so is the quality, I think they are made inChina. Try a speciality shop, well worth the extra cash.
