I'll third this suggestion. The 27 Pan with its' 5.4mm exit pupil is an ideal finder for an f/5 scope (unless you live in absolutely black skies). The 10XW is by most accounts the best at that focal length and will produce your workhorse 2mm exit pupil. They're the perfect pair for your scope, IMO.
A 26 T5 and a 9 or 11 Nag would do well too, but the 26 T5 is out of your budget range. If you can wait a couple months and want to save some $$ then Orion's 30mm Stratus is due out in May. It wouldn't be as nice as the 27 Pan, but it's listed as selling for $180 (US).
