So far, Li Qun is looking good unless someone has a better idea?

Li Qun is pretty nice (in fact, during a "duck run" ~7 years ago, my friend rated it better than Dadong and Made in China). Xiaowangfu happens to be my favorite budget duck place, though you can get far cheaper ducks in the hutongs.
The thing is, since the span between cheap and expensive is only Y200, it probably makes sense to go all out if you don't visit Beijing often.
