Need 4x2 HDMI matrix switcher with long runs

Thread Starter 
I have 3 sources and 2 TV's.  I want to purchase a 4x2 hdmi matrix switcher.  I've seen one from Monoprice for $66 and others for $400 - $500.  One of the runs will be about 75 feet.  I certainly want to use the Monoprice if it will work!

Another question:  If the above works, I may want to split each output after it leaves the switcher and run 4 TV's -- the reason being that 4x4 switchers are exponentially more expensive and I don't anticipate needing more than two different inputs at one time.  Would there be any problem with splitting after switching?

Thanks.

I use the Monoprice one with a 35' run of Monoprice HDMI cables.  Works perfectly. 

Monoprice customer service story - The v1 of the switch that I purchased had some quirks.  Sometimes it would take upwards of 5 minutes to negotiate the HDMI handshake.  I lived with it for over a year.  One day I happened across Monoprice's new v3 switch.  I sent their customer service an e-mail asking if there was an upgrade path or something I could do.  Less than an hour later the head of customer service e-mailed me.  He had looked up my order and already started the exchange process.  5 days later I received the new switch and a UPS shipping label to send the old one back.  I always go to them for cables.
