I have used both sipura 2k's and ata286 - both worked perfectly with my dect 
phones.
Currently 2K is connected to DECT, ata286 to fax and a 7960G for main use.
I have in the past had budgetones and yes, they do look cheap - but so what if 
it's only for home use.
I work from home, hence the 7960G (I simply needed more lines). But imho 
you'll struggle to beat a sipura 2K with a good quality DECT phone - although 
that works out a similar price as my 7960G.
