Is the price of a Canon 17-40 F/4L in your range? I have used one as my workhorse lens for 10 odd years. It's light, quite small, and built very well.
I can't think of other suggestions for your because so many are above $1000. Many people have seemed happy with the Samyang so I'm a little surprised it's off your list, but I haven't used it myself.
