New Durango 210 and Losi 22 RTRs look a good deal. Around your budget, sensored electrics as standard, and the option to convert between mid and rear motor with only a few parts changes.
B4.1 is the definitive 2wd buggy but it has a sensorless motor/esc as standard which you will probably end up replacing quite soon, and mid-motor conversions work out expensive.
The Ansmann/Team C kits seem good for the money, again the RTR comes with a sensorless motor/ESC. Parts support not quite as good as the other cars, Ansmann seem to be getting out of the racing scene after a couple of years trying to get in, and although Team C cars do have a proper UK distributor, it's not a distributor whose products are widely stocked.
Kits are great and I would always recommend building the car if possible but hard to put together within your budget - RTRs are always cheaper than buying the same parts separately, which seems illogical but is just the way the pricing works out!
Oh, and visit your local club before buying if you haven't already. No point having a car that is not well supported.
