New Pliko P3 or...?

My Honda CR-V was rear-ended this weekend (no kids in the car, TG) and my beloved P3 was damaged. The insurance company will reimburse the purchase of a new (comparably-priced, $300ish) stroller, but I'm wondering if there are other options I should consider before just buying a new Peg.

Our family is very close to not needing a stroller, so I'm also considering resale value. DS1 just turned 4 and is a pretty good walker, but sometimes gets lazy (even legitimately tired sometimes!). DS2 is 27 months is an enthusiastically independent walker, so I like to have the stroller to restrain him while in shops.

We have a double for zoo outings, etc. which will be retired/resold very soon. This single will be used for trips to the mall/infrequent travel/botanic gardens, etc. Mainly I'm not yet willing to give up having a place to stash all the jackets/lunchbags/waterbottles, etc. (i.e., I don't want to carry it all myself!).

What I love about the P3 -
  • compact fold/lightweight yet sturdy
  • easily washable
  • enormous canopy (though don't use that much anymore)
  • and
most important - the ride on step on the back.

I don't love the limited storage space on the bottom, but it's not the end of the world. I'd love a parent console too, but that may get in the way of the rear foot-step rider.

I've tried the Joovy caboose and HATED it, so no sit n' stands for us.

Are there any other single strollers out there with an integrated step for a second rider, or an add-on component? DS1 is pushing 35lbs and DS2 is not far behind at 28lbs, so it needs to have a decent weight limit.

Thanks!

Okay, with a little more digging (nope, not getting any work done today!) I've discovered a number of add-on rider "boards" that say they attach to a variety of single strollers, but get mixed reviews.

Has anyone used something like the Baby Jogger Glider Board [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Jogger-Glider-Board-Summit/dp/B00318CLAK/ref=pd_sbs_ba_2"]Amazon.com: Baby Jogger Glider Board For City/Summit: Baby[/ame] with the Cybex Onyx? I'm totally in love with the cranberry color.

One of the reviewers said it does not fit the G-Luxe... any experience there?

OH - the other thing I love about the P3 is the handle lever for reclining the back rest - though we hardly ever use that feature any more, it's so much more preferable to the adjustable strap that our Chicco stroller has (what a pain). Does the Onyx have a lever or strap recline adjustment?

Baby gizmo has review videos that go over the workings of pretty much everything you could ask about a stroller.
Here's the review for the Onyx:

Thanks all - after much internet time-suckage, I decided to just order a new P3 and not risk getting something I don't love as much. That babygizmo video was super helpful - I would not like how the Cybex folded up, for sure.
