Which buggy...help :)

I know how much Mumsnetters love a good buggy so i need some serious advice.
i got a quinny zapp before my DS was born not knowing that i would want to wear him in a sling. so it has gone pretty much unused.
now he is a bit bigger i need the option of a buggy..but what choice !
was about to buy an icandy or loola as i liked the idea of DS facing me or away from me. but am now thinking that maybe a basic maclaren is the way forward ?
we have a big, cumbersome very heavy mountain buggy which is fab on beaches or festivals but a no go popping to the shops.
my ds is 11 months and quite a big boy and the quinny looked small to me. also don't like the fact that it did not recline AND i had to battle to get it up and down.
i am gonna keep using my ergo sling but need a break from 24 lb babe some days...also mum in law going to start having him for couple of hours and cannot wear sling.

what to do ? what to do?
do i get a Loola or icandy ?
do i stick with the quinny ?
or maclaren ?

worth mentioning that i am not willing to spend loads (my car was only £500...price of a bugaboo i believe !)

also that my ds has not been in a buggy more than 4 times in his life so am not even sure if he will go for it

there are also SO MANY bloody buggies and i am already exhausted from looking ...

any advice would be fab..
thanks for those of you that stuck with this ramble...well done !

If you like the micralite what about the toro which has a fwd facing fully reclining seat/ It's newer tho so more expensive. You can get an all terrain kit for either model i think for all terrain so 4 big wheels too!
