So, What EVF are we all using?

Up until now, I've been a 60D shooter and haven't had much of a need for an EVF, but now that I'm losing my beloved articulating screen by switching to the MKiii, I need to figure out how I'm actually going to be able to see what I'm shooting. The only two that I know of are the DP4 and the Zacuto EVF, are there any other serious players in the sub $1000 price range, and what are the pros and cons of each? Also, I'd love to wait and see what happens with Redrock's EVF, but their reps at SXSW said that the EVF isn't a priority for them right now and they're putting all of their resources into their wireless follow focus system, so who knows when that'll be available.
 
I've been using the Zacuto EVF, It is really accurate almost broadcast monitor quality. Theres a really good 3 part comparison on vimeo of the Zacuto and the DP4.
According to that The small HD looks better to the eye but It seems to be less accurate (I think it crushes the blacks a bit and is brighter everywhere else).

I suggest looking at part 3 of the Zacuto EVF & SmallHD comparison by nice lady productions on vimeo, it has samples of what each monitor looks like compared to what the was being recorded.
 
I can't wait to see this, I am very interested. I use the dp4 evf now but want a better solution.

please share what you mean by "better solution" to your dp4? I am considering the dp4 but other than the vimeo comparison mentioned I have no other criteria to make a decision. thanks in advance for your input.
