You can buy 2 Paragon units and 2 big bowls. You keep one at 31°C for tempered chocolate, the other at 34°C for untempered dark chocolate to add when the first one goes low or overtempered. Much cheaper than melters, more versatile, easier to clean.

Don't forget the KitchenAid Precise Heat Mixing Bowl! (For which I blame Kerry.)
Edit: I have not tried it but I'm not sure the Paragon would be precise enough for chocolate. Might work though.
