Hi unclefrank,
What was the outcome to your pressure cooker purchase?

Just feel the need to get one myself and am currently looking at the Prestige 7L model

The Tower 11253 7 l is a popular model. You can get it online for around

While obviously a business pushing the products it sells, I found that this site has some useful general info re the importance of high vs low pressure, aluminium vs stainless, etc: http://fastcooking.ca/pressure_cookers/stainless_steel_pressure_cookers.php

Yes, they would say that as those are the models they specialise in, but from my general (non commercial) internet based research, the consensus does seem to be that stainless is preferred to aluminium, and for the best performance you should look for a model that operates at 15psi.
