I'm currently looking to interconnect my Asterisk PBX system with the PSTN

I know a multitude of options exist for internal PCI cards
(Digium/Sangoma/Rhino), I was wondering if anyone has any experience or
recommendations of external PRI media gateways that support SIP.

So far I've found:
VegaStream Vega 400
Audiocodes Mediant 2000
MediaTrix 1531

However they are all expensive (over 3,000).

Does any one have any other suggestions or experience with the above
products?

Thanks,
Jameson

That's just the thing.  There are manifold options, but they are all quite 
expensive.

Also have a look at Patton SmartNode 4960 range.

They are available in various configurations/numbers of channels, some of 
which are upgradable to more channels at a later date:

We have the ISDN2 and Analogue versions of these gateways (same software) 
and so far they have been very reliable, and can be configured in a variety 
of fail-over situations in case asterisk or the connection to the server 
dies, incoming calls can be automatically routed either back out on another 
ISDN channel or out to another SIP/analogue gateway etc.
