In that range you might want to look into an SCI Prophet600/Multitrak/Sixtrak...

There is always the Roland Alpha Juno, Juno60 or Juno 106

You might also want to look into a Korg DW-8000 or Poly 61m.

You are coming in at a price point that is the no-mans land between cheap old digital stuff, and really expensive VCO poly stuff.

If you have saved up that much money, I would recommend saving a bit more and getting something really nice that you are going to keep in the studio for the next decade.

I would also ask how good you are at programming and how good you are at music in general? I am not asking as a smart ass, but just curious about your level of experience and knowledge.

im currently eyeing up a SE1, BLM put me onto it, looks like a proper synth, chunky pots, cant be doing with fiddly controls, sounds well fat too

if u want polyphonic for pads etc, I use a Nord Lead 2 rack, nice lil machine, prolly pick it up fairly cheap too, its digital but I run it thru a tube preamp and it adds some nice dirt, still not analogue tho, yet to find a nice poly analogue I can afford
