Elliptical for low ceilings

I'm looking for an elliptical trainer for my home gym, but I have a 7 ft ceiling in my basement and I'm 6 ft tall. Anybody have any ellipticals that have a low profile that may work for me? Any recommendations on manufacturers that may have something? Looking to spend around $1K max, and I've only been able to find Octane ellipticals with low step-on height foot pedals, but they start at $2500. Thanks.

you could cut out a section of your ceiling so your head can fit through. the other alternative is to dig a pit in the ground, but that will take up more space to fit the elliptical. also, if you don't wear sneakers and socks, you might save an inch or two. hope this helps.
