I would also consider the NH1, which is the model above the NH900 -
and also on its way out of the market.

I just picked up a refurbished model in Norway for about $250 (which
is VERY cheap relative to Norwegian prices in general), and so far
I'm very happy with it.

It's got a display on both the player itself and the remote, AND the
remote has a big display which shows record levels - AND it is
backlit.

It seems like a very robust and solid model, and does not have a
cheap-ish finish at all.

=D8.
