High end brands are Newport cottages, bratt decor and Pali. Middle of the road brands are graco, sorelle, pottery barn and baby italia. At least that's what I did a ton of research on 5 years ago, hope that helps.
We bought the Stratton model from Westwood Baby at Buy Buy Baby. We put it together the other night and love it! It came with the toddler rail and we bought the extra full size rail for later on.

We're getting this one https://www.amazon.com/Graco-Charleston-Non-Drop-Classic-White/dp/B002646750/ref=br_it_dp_o_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3JLDY4JVM5E6B&coliid=I2AA6YFHCDB1HN
My primary concern isn't that it's a good convertible though because we already have an extra double bed. Have you checked baby bargains?
It matches the rest of our furniture and the style suits us.
