Got my Logic from Saleae today. It's a very nice, high quality tool for a pretty reasonable $150. The software is super easy to use and navigate, and great looking. I'm very happy with it so far.
As well as just general logic reading, it also has modes for RS232 Serial, I2C, 1-Wire and SPI. There will probably be more added. Saleae provides an SDK for those who want to write their own applications for the tool.
Here's what you see when you open the box (left). The case is pretty decent (right). 
Here's what's inside the case when you first open it (left). It comes with a A to Mini-B USB cable, stored on the left side (right). It normally rides securely inside the mesh holder that it's sitting on for the photo. 
Here's the actual Logic with probes (left). Each probe has two connection pins, so if you need to connect a second Molex to the probe you can. A closer view of the Logic's case (right). Very well made. 
A closeup of the probes (left). Here I'm using it to grab SPI data output by my Olimex LPC-P2148 board to my homebuilt MAX7219 SPI LED display board (right). 
Another couple of views of the SPI connections. I'm not bothering to connect the MISO line, since it's not being used in this project anyway. There's a ground probe on the power connector and side by side are CLK (clock), CS (enable, or chip select) and MOSI (Data In for the display board. The probes are excellent quality. There's no danger of them falling off or moving around and shorting things. They're very secure. 
Here's a macro of one of the probes in the open position. 
And here's a few words of SPI data sent to the display. Sweet! I'll never spend hours guessing why my SPI won't work again! Love it!
