There are more than a few people here that think that Cordoba is the best all laminate concert in it's price range. Can get some good deals on them on ebay. Even Andrew at theukesite think's they are a great buy for the money. One of the guys in my uke group has one and everyone loves it.
I like both of those ukuleles, I'm pretty sure that you'd be happy with either one. Uke Republic carries Islanders in that approximate price range that would be a great choice, too. I've owned/played all three, I think that I would choose the Islander but it'd be a close call.
