Exactly what I was gonna say.
In the long run, you will be happier with what you get if it is something you like. Find something you like, then worry about the price. Like Daybreaker said, save up. In the long run, you will be ALOT happier with your purchase. Don't worry about what is popular, or what is "cheap". It is alot easier to clean/feed/water an animal you like to look at rather than a constant reminder what a bad purchase that was because it was cheap.
