Looking to fill the hole in my uke collection, which means a tenor with electric pickup to plug in at church. At Uke Fest VA, I was able to try both the Kala Marcy Marxer all-solid limited edition and the Kala travel with electric pickup, which I've played before a couple of times. The travel uke has solid top in the same wood as the Marxer LE but with laminate sides. In my limited experience, the travel uke was actually louder, but the Marxer LE had a deeper sound that I slightly prefer.
Anyway, I'm looking at $475 for the all-solid vs $250 for the solid-top travel. Any opinions on the relative value between the two, or recommendations for other sub-$500 tenors with built-in pickups and at least solid tops?
