Shopping is Hard Work

I don't remember shopping ever being this difficult before. Perhaps I'm just out of practice.

I'm trying to find a new office telephone. It needs to handle single-line analog and allow for a wireless headset. At first, I was thinking of one for the home office but if I can get the correct headset --the full earmuff style rather than the cram-into-your-auditory-canal earbuds which never fit me and destroy my hearing-- I'd love to have one at the data center too, to stay in contact with HQ, drown out the ambient noise and allow me to move freely between racks.

I've found a couple of candidates online but they're hideously expensive... $200+ USD. I thought of just a deskset with a bluetooth headset but most of the headsets in the style I want are $175 USD or more. Purchasing two such systems would be prohibitively expensive.

Anyone have ideas or recommendations?
