yeah - swings and roundabouts.
I bought a delta kit and i love it to bits.
Haven't had any real issues, prints fast and quality.
And as I haven't bothered with topographical levelling (I level it physically) or changing the firmware - I've had zero issues. If you look at delta groups and forums - 90% of the problems are to do with people messing with the firmware or non-physical bed levelling.
Often they change the firmware before even testing the printer. And then wonder why they've got problems.

If I were getting a larger kit the tevo little monster is a cracking bit of kit - loads of youtube videos.
There was another someone mentioned a short while back, that I can't seem to track down. cost a bit more but looked pretty good.

Here's a few, mostly in your budget. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/xxl-3d-printer/
In particular look at the 'builder'. They do an interesting two into on print nozzle. So you can - for example - use soluble supports without the hassle of dual nozzles. https://www.3dnatives.com/en/3D-comp...te/big-builder
good print volume too.
