I'm looking for a hardware reverb on a budget (1000 Euros max.).
Been working with a PCM 70 (which I very much like the sound of) at a space I share but I'd like to have my own unit by now.

there are a lot of budget priced reverb units by the high end manufacturers so I'm a bit puzzled by the choice.

what I've put on the check out list so far are:

-Lexicon MX400 (which seems to receive a lot of love on here, about 400 Euro)

-TC Electronic M350 (around 200 Euro)
M2000 (1000 Euro)
M3000 (1000 Euro, dramatically cheap right now...)
M One XL (500 Euro)

-Kurzweil Rumour (550 Euro, also a favourite on here, no idea how it sounds)

Eventide seems to be out of budget right now.

as I obviously can't demo all of them, what are your favourites among those and which one did forget?
I mainly need it for pop/rock music as well as for projects with orchestral sample libraries (TV spots, jingles etc...).
It should be a unit dedicated to reverb/ambience rather than a multi-effects.

any help/opinion much appreciated!
