Reliable 12string on the cheap?

Considering picking myself up an acoustic for my birthday and I'm thinking about getting a 12 string that way I have a little something different from my electric. Can anyone recommend a 12er on the cheap that won't be a POS? I've heard you gotta be cautious with the budget acoustics, especially with 12s.

Try the Yamaha 12 strings. I had an F312 that played beautifully. Got the action as low as I could. Mitchell makes some decent twelvers as well. I don't have a 12 string from them, but I do like my Washburn acoustics.
