There aren't too many others that I would say have the peppery, fiery quality of Talisker; it is what makes Talisker so unique. But for smokey I would seek out a Caol Ila 18 if you can.
Otherwise, as people have said, Ardbeg is good quality and value. Laphroaig 10 is pretty sharp, and I prefer the quarter cask, but really any Laphroaig is good to me. But it was an acquired taste.
Lagavulin would be the other Islay whisky that I think really fits that peaty, smokey profile. Very well rounded and lush.
