If anyone is considering, Zorjirushi IH 5.5 cup (NP-HCC10XH) in on sale at Amazon and Macy's right now for $229.50+tax (yes, this is a good price for this model).
I've used this specific model for about 20 years. Recently purchased the Zojirushi the high end pressure model. Both are good and definitely worth it for my family as we eat rice constantly, day and night. I understand it may not be worth for some as they are expensive but the convenience and consistency is worth every penny for us.
