Powered Pedal Boards

I am looking into getting a powered pedalboard, and the ModTone MT-PB8 has caught my eye. I've been looking around EBAY and such and found other boards with roughly the same characteristics and layout, and found one slightly cheaper by a company called 'Musician's Gear.'

Anybody have any brand/model recommendations for a powered board? Preferably having a way to cement pedals to the board (velcro) on top of powering several pedals. Should be cheap, but not crap.
 
Problem is, cheap usually does equal crap. But, there are options. The SKB boards are powered, but for various voltages, you'd want the big one, (PS45), and they run about $250 new. Or, a PT board, but you'd need to add a power supply. That adds up, too. Musicians Gear is Musicians Friend house brand. That might be a good option, but I don't know much about it.
 
The Gator Pedal Totes are a good value if you have consistent power voltages. (9v and 18v). Make sure the ones you search include the g-bus-8 power supply. Pedal Totes are sold with and without the power supply.
