RSI-basher?

Hi all,

My hands/wrists are starting to give out. I'm spending 10+ hours a day at a
screen having done so now for maybe 15 years, and no matter how many breaks
I take, the ergonomic setup of my desk, whatever, I'm starting to feel the
onset of RSI creeping in.

So, I want to see what keyboards you guys are using. Is the painful switch 
to Dvorak worth it? Have you found a particularly decent keyboard that is 
incredibly comfortable?

I'm currently seriously considering:

but $300 is a lot to blow on a keyboard. Even if it does have an emacs mode. 
Anybody used these and reccomend them, or condemn them?

Any thoughts/comments gratefully received before I get the credit card out.
