I would consider a Fiskars Fuse. The price is right down there now at Joann's. I think I've seen it as low as $79.99.
It's a fabulous, versatile, well-made machine. With shims, it takes just about any die. I don't usually use their shims, I use the big shot shims. The Fuse dies are worthless; don't waste your money on those. I don't use any of the Fuse things except for the machine itself. Love, love, love!
