THe fork leaves a bit to be desired and the wheels are a tad flexy (I'm 165 pounds, ~300w FTP), and it came with a square taper bottom bracket. I didn't want that pricetag but I wanted 12 speed Eagle, decent fork, good looks and clean lines, and modern XC geometry success with the Chisel Comp.

I paid $1500 out the door (online they're listed at $1650). MSRP is about $200 over your price range, but it has SRAM Eagle and a really nice fork. The only downside is that it has a 27.2mm seatpost, which makes it a bit more difficult to find a dropper post.
