New Control Freak owner here. I would love to see a forum/webpage/dropbox for shared recipe files. I'm actually a little surprised Breville hasn't set something like this up.
I bought mine off Ebay. I got a deal, but not quite as good a deal as CanadianHomeChef did. I'm still thrilled with the unit! So far, I've not done anything terribly exotic with it, but just being able to cook things to the exact doneness I want is a wonderful feature. Looking forward to frying, poaching, butter poaching, making sauces, and all sorts of other things with it. It's an absolute pleasure to use.
