Default Please help me with the choice of a budget acoustic archtop.

I am new to archtop guitars, but I always liked their looks and their "different" tone.
I'd like to purchase a brand new archtop guitar. to be used mainly acoustically i.e. not plugged in.
I mainly play fingerstyle, and a bit of flatpicking.
My three most important considerations are:
1) Good unplugged tone
2) A wide neck at the nut (possibly 1 3/4 but also a
Gibson neck width (1.73) would be OK as long as string spacing at the nut is at least 36 mm
3) Affordable price (not exceeding $600/700).
Can you help me with your suggestions?
Thanks!
