If all you are doing is controlling technobeams, go with the technobeam controller. Very easy to use, although not really a good tool for running cues. If you are setting up loops, presets, or a couple basic looks it works great. Manual can be found here:

Might be able to find a Jands Hog 250 or a Status Cue for that budget, these consoles will give you more flexability. If you go with the Status Cue, make sure to read the manual, the way it is setup is very unique.
