I am with you. I made the switch this last september and have no regret. Harmon p43 was 4k, which comes with a great warranty. Even paying winter prices for pellets, I will start seeing a return on investment early next winter. These are eligible for a substantial tax credit.

1500 sq foot home. Keep it on half power from 6am- 2 pm and then on the lowest setting until the following morning. About 1 to 1.25 bags used per day.

I would recommend having a building or a good place to store the pellets. With that being said, I do see people just pulling bags off a pallet in their yard.

Just put in a harmon p43 and couldn't be happier with it. It was 4k, but does qualify for the federal tax credit for 26%. Went with the harmon for the quality and warranty.
