What do you think of Telerik Test Studio for load testing?

I'm evaluating Test Studio. Our primary use case is load testing by simulating users logging in and performing a half dozen resource-intensive tasks.

I started playing with the trial version of this and I like the scenario/transaction builder and find it pretty intuitive.

However, it will take quite a bit more effort and coordination to do any real-life eval of it's load testing features so I thought I would solicit opinions first. Is it a good product for load testing? Are there other products I should consider which are a) less thank $10k, and b) reasonably intuitive to set up and use?
