I would think that the new (2011) Salsa Casseroll fits that description quite well, albeit with cantis, which to my mind are a perfectly fine solution.
I went back and forth for a while between that and the Sam I ended up getting this summer. FWIW the decision came down to Riv being able to confidently recommend what size to get, which Salsa couldn't. I was ordering remotely on a tight schedule so that ended up being the critical factor for me. Pretty sure the Salsa would have done the job almost as well for a lot less $.
