Prices tend to be volatile due to dollar/euro fluctuations. They range from $181 at EMF for a gun of unknown manufacture to $291 at Midway for a Uberti (remember, these are standard guns, no special finishes, etc. You can pay more...). The least expensive Pietta is $200 at Arms2Armor, although 3 others offer a $210 Pietta (watch shipping/handling prices carefully). The least expensive Uberti is $225 at S&S, with $235 at October Country and $237 at Buffalo Arms the next highest. Texas Jack's $246 gun is actually a Cimarron (Uberti) and is a good value if they have it in stock.

Uberti
If you are just starting out, get an Uberti. Get something cheaper and you might not stay in this. Getting an Uberti, not the most expensive, but I think, the best for the money, and you will not go wrong and will be able to get a better price for it when you sell it, unless you sell it to somebody who doesn't know about Uberti Quality.
The Doc is out now.

Third the Uberti.
Also, I will have to throw another option out there for holsters. Dixie's are very nice of course but for about the exact same price you can order a holster from Fall Creek Sutlers.

They have period correct holsters with the original stampings, white linen thread etc. Also cartridge boxes, cap boxes etc. I have holsters from both Dixie and Fall Creek and I must say the Fall Creek holsters are MUCH nicer.
Only for Colt Navy, Army and 58 Remingtons though! They don't have a Dragoon holster yet, but supposedly one is coming.
Just my $.02
Here's my rig from Fall Creek. Holster fits either the Army or Navy. Cap box (for the musket), pistol cartridge box and spare cylinder box. Also have a cartridge box for my Springfield 1861.
Oh, there are other Civil War Sutlers out there that DO sell holsters in Confederate Brown etc. for those of you of the more Southern Persuasion.

Steel vs brass frame
Much debate about steel vs brass frames amongst the cognizeti - it's really a personal choice thing AS LONG AS you don't abuse the gun. Brass frames are less tolerant of abuse (ie, shooting heavy, maximum loads repeatedly) than steel frames. Otherwise, what do you like? I prefer steel frames; I also like Chrysler products and Detroit Tiger baseball (Verlander is just superb), none of which means a whit to anyone else, nor should it.

With a steel frame you can then get a cartridge convertor for it you want. The Conversion cylinders should not be used in brass frames.
