Jeb and I were just talking about bg boards this past weekend. Except for CJC, he knows them better than anyone I've met.
Beezee, if you just started playing (welcome!) then you will need some time to figure out the board you really want. IMO, get in at the entry level ($100-150 ballpark) with a decent size set (minimum 1.5" or ~4 cm) and save anything extra for when you find one you REALLY like. Come to the Michigan Summer Championships at beginning of July (not far from from Windsor, ON :) for a great holiday weekend of backgammon play and look at all the boards Carol Joy Cole (CJC for short) has for sale. Bring your drool cup. Look for Jeb Horton, Michelle Steinberg, and me and we'll give you a live session of advice similar to what you've seen here.
