I'm looking to purchase my first ukulele (at age 51). I would like to get a new uke, will not spend more than $80* shipped, am looking at either a concert or tenor size (probably concert because to me it has more of the uke sound I feel I'm wanting and it's sort of the middle size so I can decide if I want to go smaller, larger, or stay the same with my next uke), and will probably buy in a bundle if offered in one (seems like most are about $10 extra and offer a bag and a tuner).
Which one of the following would be the best choice (haven't decided where I'm buying from, just using these links to show the ukes)?

- Luna Honu Mahogany Concert https://www.austinbazaar.com/luna-honu-concert-ukulele-deluxe-bundle-lun-uke-honu-concert-combo-dlx.html
* Several reasons for the $80 max: a) it's my first uke so I'd like to start out cheap to learn on and then go for quality when I know more about my likes and wants (something to look forward to I guess you'd say); b) helping put a daughter through college so every dollar is important right now; c) I'm using my birthday/Father's Day money and also want to purchase a guitar (I'll give the guitar a try but my main focus is on the ukulele...the guitar is really for my 11 year old son who wants to learn how to play); d) it will be easier to sell my wife on me getting a more expensive one later if I can say I bought one of the cheapest ukes this time
Thank you for your help, your time, and your opinions!
