Hi Aaron,

welcome to the dark side! ;-))

Maybe you can get a deal like me? During the time of the last embedded 
fair at Nuremberg one of my Atmel distributors had a special deal: A 
STK500, a STK501 and a JTAG-ICE all together for 339 Euros. Since I 
already had a STK500 and had no use for the STK501 I sold both via 
ebay. For the resulting ~130 Euros the JTAG-ICe was quite ok.

HTH,
Stefan
