Taylor 12-fret. Best-sounding model in their lineup (in my opinion, of course) and surprisingly versatile. If I ever own another Taylor it will be a 12-fret. Best Taylor I've ever played aside from my humble 210 was an all-mahogany 12-fret Grant Concert model.
I think you'd easily be able to find a used one in your budget, and possibly even a new one if you look at the 500 series.
