Sounds like a classic problem where you have three requirements...

    1. "Just works" / off-the-shelf, no management required
    2. Quality & reliabilty
    3. Low cost

...but can only choose two.  :)

Just from reading user reviews of the low cost stuff, it sounds like
you sacrifice quality & reliability for ease-of-use & convenience.
But even those features are suspect, if the reviews are to be
believed.

Just my $0.02  :)
