Alberts et al. Essential Cell Biology is a bit less advanced, but I'm finding it very complete, just not quite so exhaustive (pun intended). It's still 700 pages, so you'll get your money's worth (if you buy a used copy).

It's probably more useful for laymen. Those who find themselves wanting more can always go to the larger, more comprehensive text later.
