Looking to get 1st French Press, Ideas?

I just cannot get behind a whirleyblade (it's a chopper/smasher, not a grinder - it makes way more boulders and dust than you want with a press if $99 is in the budget) for coffee, except maybe for paper drip filter as the limit. The Baratza (Solis) Maestro looks like the dog to beat - $99. It will do well for drip/press coffee for many years; passable for moka and C-minus marginal for espresso.
