BandVista is another good competitor in this space, with a strong site builder and extras like a commission-free store, polls, calendar, and guest book.
Starting at $9.95 / month with a 30 days free trial, it's not the cheapest of the bunch but it does get the job done and it's worth the money, especially if you're going to have lots of newsletter fans ($15.85 will get you 25.000 fans that you can email through BandVista)
Definitely try this one out
