Decklink / Kona / Matrox... your opinons please

Hello everyone,
The time has come for me to consider a HD solution for my business. My clients are finally moving to HD or should I say HDV, and I need a little advice on hardware etc.
My client base is a mix of consumer and corporate. The cameras most often used are the Canon XA H1, Sony HVR Z1, Panasonic HVX200. There is a possibility that I will be getting RED footage as well.
Like many here, my budget is somewhat constrained, so doing research and getting real world reviews and opinions is most helpful to me.
I cannot afford a 15K color grading / external HD monitor, so most likely I'll be going with an 23" Apple Display for HD out.
Any comments, blessings, warnings etc. are most welcome.
Thank you!
Reuben

Hi David,
Thanx for the link. I had seen a few of these reviews, but had not seen Shane's yet which was very interesting. The MXO sounds like a decent solution for viewing and output. I even noticed in his blog that he mentions the results from the KonaLH3 and MXO into a Sony PVM-20L5 are almost identical, considering the difference in cost.
I know that you generally get what you pay for, but on the capture side, there is a huge difference between the Decklink HD and a Kona 3. Is the Kona that more advanced, or does it cost that much because they can get it?
Thanks!
