I am not experienced with the Chef line. I own the Duo, and it works well and was a good value seeing as I didn't have any pots to begin with. I would stay away from their Splendid line because of quality issues.
Yes, I'm using one right now to cook chick peas, although I did presoak. I have the stove top kind so I can't speak to the electrical ones. Generally I would recommend the stove top because it can be used as an all purpose pot. It works great for rice, quinoa, beans, steel cut oats. For things that can burn at the bottom, you'll just need to place a smaller pot in the larger pressure cooker. Beans that typically take 45 minutes to cook through boiling only takes 11 minutes with a pressure cooker, 30 minute steel cut oats only takes 5 or 6 minutes, so it's really convenient. The only downside is the loud hissing.
I would say the Fagor Duo, but the price has gone up almost $40 since I bought mine a couple of years ago. I think you can do better for $150. Get at least an 6qt cooker. The 4qt one I have can't fit much of anything, but my 8qt is perfect for almost everything.
