In that price range I'd go for a Guild GAD 30-R. Actually, well below the top of your range price wise.
All solid woods, including the binding, bone nut/saddle, 1 3/4 nut and, if I recall correctly, just under 2 1/4 string spacing at the bridge, comfortable C shaped neck profile. Excellent sounding/playing guitar. What's not to like?
