For $2000-2500 I would consider a Prophet 5. I love them, but it´s a personal thing.
In your situation I could imagine the Prophet 08 being a good synth as well. I tried one quickly and was not impressed with the presets, BUT wanted to spend more time with it. That is a good sign. It just sounded a bit bright, but I felt it could be programmed to be great.
A mini moog is a superb performance instrument, and has such a classic tone. It really is deep and huge, but as chrisso said and I agree, that in the studio I like a bit more and go for an ARP 2600 first. Unfortunately those are too pricey now. An ARP odyssey is still my favorite undervalued monosynth. Great features and fun to use.
Anyway, you could get a Prophet 8 and something like an Odyssey possibly within your budget.
