I've been looking at getting something new in this range also, and found the Kingroon KLP1, which is a fully enclosed Core XY design.
That's not a brand I came across in my searches. I'll have to look into it.
CoreXY has advantages over the typical RepRap-style 3-axis movement or bed-slingers. The frame is more rigid, so the print head can move faster while maintaining accuracy. The enclosure also lets you print higher temp materials with less warping.
IMO the big advantage of core xy is acceleration. My old i3 clone could print fairly fast, but my accelerations are way higher now, which lets me hit my (also higher) max speed faster and more frequently.
