Honestly I think you will get a lot more value and bang for your buck if you bump yourself up to the 2k range. You can find some of the "lower tier" bally williams dmd titles in that price range. hs2, black rose, demo man, ect. All great games and significant step ups from what you can find in the 1.5k range. I realize its a slippery slope to say bump up your budget to XX, but in this case I think it really is worth it.
