I don't have any specific recommendations buy your budget is enough to buy something midrange and have money leftover for filament and any mods you'd like to do. I'd suggest starting your search by figuring out what print volume you'd like to filter down your options and then further filtering by features like auto bed leveling, direct drive extruders, and 32-bit mainboards. Whittle the list down to a handful of options in your price range. Once you have a short list, you can check reviews on each model and pull the trigger on something. The Ender models are pretty popular and have huge community support. I have the Sidewinder X2 like I mentioned and it has been good to learn with, but I haven't kept up on all the new printer releases to suggest anything better.
