How bad are the resonances in closed-back headphones? Am I expecting too much for $100 to get an enclosed set that doesn't have a distracting midrange resonance?

So far I think that the Sennheiser HD280's and the Sony MDR-7506's are my two front runners. I don't know much about the Grados other than what I've seen on reviews. What are some good vendors that sell Grado cans? Does anyone have any thoughts on comparing and contrasting the HD280's and the 7506's? My impression is that the HD28's are better isolating but have more of the midrange honk, whereas the 7506's would be flatter yet not as isolating, and perhaps flimsier. Does this sound accurate?
