Besides being WOW'ed....What do you want to use the light for? There are definitely a lot of WOW! lights out there, and the two Sigman suggested are two of the best. Do you want to use it for EDC, night stand duty, walking the dog at night, or just playing around with in the back yard?
My 6P, 9P, and M2 all WOW! me, and all of them are very versatile. I can use them as either incan up to 380 lumens, or LED up to whatever the latest and greatest P60 style LED drop-in offers. I just put the BOG Q5 in my 9P, and I am definitely WOW'ed. And just to be fair, the 380 lumen incan drop-in really makes me go WOW! every time I turn it on also. All 3 of those fit in your price range.
If you want a light that will throw a bright as hell white light saber beam up to about 800 feet, the Tiablo A9S Q5 will WOW! you. If you want a little pocket rocket that will WOW! you every time you turn it on....the beam coming through the TIR optic of the L1 will fit that bill. If you want a small light that you can program up to four levels of your choice (which makes me go WOW! in itself), but has a great beam also....the Novatac 120P will do it for you.
As you will find out, there are many, many choices for lights that make you go WOW! But, as you can also see, these lights can also have other practical uses besides being just a WOW! light. If you are on a strict budget, I would pick something that is tough, small enough to EDC, and moddable. Good luck in your search.
