I have a cheaper Precor, works great. It's convenient when the weather is shitty (like rain or snow) or if you have something like shin splints, a foot or ankle injury that you've recently recovered from and you don't want your foot being slammed onto the pavement. Treadmills have sort of a cushioning to them. Also nice since it's in your house and you can have a TV or radio near you while running (running with entertainment?) and just get off and hop right into the shower.
One more thing: you can't (really) get lost on a treadmill. Unless you're dropping acid and running, which could be interesting. Unless you're running the same ole route everyday outside, it's easy to get lost or lose track when you're roughing out that last mile.
Running outdoors is so much better though and a treadmill does cost quite a bit of loot (especially a Precor). Personally, if you're really going to run, stick to outdoors.
