opinions please!

what a difference a day makes... we woke up to fabulous, dry cool air today. i was motivated right away to get to work. as i was weighing out clay to get started on mugs there was a visitor in the gallery. i say visitor because it wasn't a customer with a wad of money to spend, but a salesman from a credit card processing company.
jeff and i were interested in what he had to say because we have been thinking for a few months about join the ranks of credit card accepting craftsmen. we haven't really lost much business by not accepting cards, but sometimes we wonder if people would spend more if they could use that plastic card in their wallet.
we know if we go the credit card route we want a swiper with the store and go feature for when we are at shows or a wireless swiper.
the salesman today talked a good talk (like any good salesman). he represented EVO. the percentages sounded good, monthly minimums not too bad... the big hang up we have is signing a three year contract. i searched this company online and found some negative reviews. but a lot of times no one ever comes forward to say nice things :-(

my head is  now spinning about which direction we should go. i would love some input from readers...
anyone know anything about EVO?
any recommendations of a good company offering a decent price on swipers and low fees?
EVO's pricing is $395 for the store and go swiper (hooks up to a landline for immediate verification or stores the number until you plug it in to a landline) and $595 for a wireless swipe. jeff thought the prices were a little high and i am totally clueless.
