What is a good, inexpensive medium format camera other than a Holga?

I've been shooting with my Canon Rebel EOS (film camera) for about two years now and own a Nikon D80. I'm feeling rather limited with the 35mm format after hundreds of frames, and am thinking of dabbling in the world of medium format photography beyond my the blurry, light-leaked limitations of my Holga.

As Hasselblad is certainly not in my budget range, but I am open to the used camera market. I know a tiny bit about Mamiyas, Bronicas, and Rolleiflexes but would like to know more about these brands (and others) and their cameras. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I own a Holga and a Diana. I'd rather not deal with plastic cameras anymore (as much as I like them)

The Minolta Autocord twin lens reflex would be a good choice. There were several models - some only used 120 film, some used 120 and 220. The 120 version is usually cheaper. The earliest ones had no light meter. Later models had a selenium cell light meter (no batteries) and even later ones used a CDC meter which required batteries.

You should be able to find one in good condition for less that $100.00.
