Need a new Metronome

I hate my metronome--it doesn't have a volume control, and the numbers are so small I can barely set it. I tried a couple of software metronomes on my computer--they're pretty functional, but seem a little unsteady (ahh...MS Windows).

So I'm in the market for a new one. This one looks pretty awesome, albeit for a price: Korg KDM-2 True Tone Advanced Digital Metronome

Anybody out there using it? Think it's worth the $46?

This is the first I've seen of this metronome, and it looks like it has all the bells, etc. I particularly like the very slow tempo it looks like it can achieve -- I like to use a very slow click to come in only even every 2 to 4 bars as a "check".

If you would prefer to spend only USD4.00 (with the holiday voucher) and can use a computer or iPhone, Web Metronome can go down to 1 bpm (like 1 beat per chorus!). No polyrhythms or any of that high fallutin' stuff, though. There's a free online version with the same functionality.

Edit: sorry, forgot the OP! Aside from going down only to 30 bpm, this Korg looks like a great metronome, and I have considered it myself. It sounds way better than that irritating digital "ping" most of them seem to have now.
