Jacobson Blimp, is this the only option? I'm shooting D700.

I need to purchase a blimp for shooting movie stills, I don't mind spending $1200, but I do mind spending it on this thing. This is 2009 not 1950. I can't believe someone hasn't design something quite a bit better than the Jacobson blimp. I'm sure it works pretty well, but come on, what a dated design (a box). No access to controls, or the rear LCD. There has to be a better product out there. Am I just not finding it? I'm not one to complain, but again this is 2009. Sorry, for the rant.
