Looking for a good mid level Window web host.

Hi all,
I work for a medium sized interactive firm and we do asp.net almost exclusively. We've been using 1and1.com for years and they've been getting worse and worse on the customer service and hosting department, so we're looking for a new web host.
What we need:
ASP.Net 4.0
Able to host multiple sites.
Direct access to DNS.
at least a few SQL Server Databases.
some way to upload data, doesn't matter if it's FTP, SFTP, Web Deploy, Server Extensions.
What we don't need:
Email
tons and tons of bandwidth transfer
tons and tons of disk space.
Places I've looked at:
http://logicpoint.net - Doesn't really support multiple site even though their website says they do.
http://www.arvixe.com - Looks decent, but I can't find any reviews of their business plans.
http://www.sherweb.com - Way too expensive for what we want. SQL Server is an extra charge
So does anyone have any good experiences with any hosts?

Have you looked at Azure at all? Don't they provide .NET hosting now?
Otherwise Rackspace Cloud was decent when I was using it several years ago
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
If possible we'd like to stay under $50 a month
And how much disk space are you actually using/plan to use?
While you list them as not important, it is important for finding a new webhost at a competative price. If you are only using 100mb/month data transfer list that.
Also what type of sql? MySQL? msSQL? ODBC?

From what I'm reading arvixe has a 60 day money back guarentee, and the people that were dissatisfied got it their money back without much fuss.
We need at least MS SQL Server 2005, with 2008 being preferred.
