Travel guitars?

I am considering getting a travel-sized guitar for practice when I am out of town or even to take to work for practice on lunch breaks. I realize that the possibility of getting an affordable 7-string travel guitar is low, so I am fine with picking up a 6-string.

I have found a couple options:

1. Traveler brand (various models, such as http://www.travelerguitar.com/pro_series_specs.htm)

2. Yamaha Silent Guitar (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...tic?sku=511107)

3. Washburn Rover (http://www.music123.com/Washburn-Rov...-i102179.music)

The Traveler brand guitars look to be the best solution for me, as I really just want it for practice - I don't need it to be loud enough to sing along with or anything. The Travelers are reasonably-priced and seem very small.

Do you guys have any experience with any of these and/or do you have other suggestions? I am going to be doing some traveling in March and I want to buy it before then...

The Steinberger Spirit models do seem like a good solution, but they appear to be out of stock most places, and there really aren't any on Ebay. For ~$300 they really do look like a good value.

Anyone know some place that has these in stock?
