Elliptical or Treadmill?

So we moved out to BFE. We are total gym rats, and there is no decent
gym around here anywhere. We are getting some free weights for the
house, and we can also afford one machine (money and spacewise).
Whaddaya think---eliptical or treadmill? (Goals: cardio, burn
calories, overall hard workout.) We're in pretty decent shape now, as
we both regularly weight train, so we need a machine that is somewhat
challenging. Thanks.

Which machine are you more likely to use? It doesn't matter if it gives
you a 'better' workout if you use it less frequently than the machine
that gives the somewhat poorer workout. A TV in front of an eliptical
and you're good to go. A treadmill, well, you might as well save a lot
of money and go walking with your partner (my daily limp around the park
with my wife and our old dog is one of the highlights of my day).

Cheers,

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
