Absolute cheapest would be the Contec CMS 50 D +....the plus is very important as the 50 D without the plus doesn't have recording capabilities.

The CMS 50F....a little more expensive but it has more features and has a wrist mount for the finger tip thing that might make for less annoyance with the cables. I just found one that doesn't even need a finger thingy.

Amazon or EBay probably cheapest sources....and the absolute cheapest might be sellers in China that take the slow boat for delivery though sometimes I have seen same product on Amazon for just a few dollars more which mean US sellers are stocking it.

You can read about the various models and get an idea what you might want here and then shop around for the model you want.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

If you want to try the Eclipse mask and want a special promo code to get a little off the price...send me a private message.

One of the photos there shows the finger sensor that comes with that device.

Ooops....I didn't look at all the photos. I did think it was strange no finger thingy but I don't keep up on all the various little peculiarities of these devices.
Thanks for catching that.

You had me curious so I had to look.
The rubber one I had for my in home sleep test tended to "pinch" the skin on my finger, disturbing my sleep. :(
