I really like Southcoast Medium strings on my mahogany Mainland. Many Ponos are also under the specified "affordable" mark of $500 (as was my used Koaloha). The solid wood ukes I've heard sound best to my ears with greater sustain. This is not news.
I also have a couple of laminate ukes (Kalas) to have handy during the dry winter season.
