Banjo recommendations -- "plunky" vs. "plinky"

$

Hey all -- I've been playing thumb-lead two finger for a little over a year now.  I've been learning on a Deering Goodtime (with a resonator).  I dig its bright "plinky" sound.  

But now I'm looking to get a second banjo, an openback with a completely different sound, something on the other end of the spectrum -- more mellow and warm than bright, more "plunky" than plinky.

I'm not looking to spend more than 700.

Does anyone have any recommendations?  Particular models/makes to keep an eye out for?  (I understand that to really know, I've got to pick up a banjo, play it, and love it, but I'd be really grateful for any thoughts on where to start.)

Thanks in advance for your help!
