I'd sooner go for either a full-size tenor or concert uke - Kala is one of the better-known/regarded brands in this end of the market, and I'm certain that you'll have no problem finding something that'll suit bith your needs and your budget...
So just to clarify in your opinion it's not really worth it for the other options have a better sound and just as easy to travel with?
