You are very lucky to have made your decision at a time when there are so many good products available. In fact, I suspect there available range is going to make it hard for you to choose. Maybe start by looking at why you want a uke in the first place, what music do you like to play, what is the sound you are chasing. Then look at the bank balance and change "moderately priced" to a range in dollars. Just like buying a guitar?
Also think about your personal "ultimate uke". Even if you decide to get the intermediate uke soon, think about the features you want on your ultimate uke, write them out if possible, and use that information to help you pick an intermediate uke out of the many options. If you find you don't have an ultimate uke yet, spend 10 minutes a day dreaming about it over at least a week, and write down your results.
