Can anyone suggest any specific treadmill models that they have had good luck with?

My wife and I are both relatively serious runners and have done everything from the mile to the marathon, so we will be putting a good 10+ miles on it a day, so we certainly don't want to be cheap here. On the other hand, after just a week or two of basic researching, I am realizing that a decent treadmill can range from around $1,000 to above $5,000.

I would prefer to stay under $2,000, and the lower the better. I realize that "you get what you pay for", and the more I spend the better the product will be... so I guess I'm looking for a reliable Best Buy for a serious runner.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I got a Pro-Form super cheap at a garage sale this summer, and it seems quite solid. I believe the brand is regarded as being pretty good in general.

I would recommend shopping around for used deals, perhaps at used sporting goods stores or online places like eBay. I'm guessing you can find something very high end and hardly used for 50% or less of retail. Used sporting goods lose value incredibly quickly.
