thank you all, these are great recommendations. @ Cmalak; my thoughts exactly, and the CS 1.6 were actually at the top of my list. but i hadn't heard of the meadowlarks or coincidents, and hadn't considered Dunlavy or triangle.
feel free to add more to this list, considering the parameters i've described, and i now have a few new ideas thanks to you all!
