Banggood has the Artillery® Genius 3D Printer on sale currently and it's probably cheapest this has come with delivery via AU warehouse. Most stores have this around $540-599, ebay sales earlier dropped this to $499 and there's been some deals that drop to $450. Shopback has cashback on this too.
Whilst not as community driven as the Ender 3's, the Genius does have a lot of upgrades out of the box. Keep in mind that stock, Ender is a Bowden tube and Genius is Direct Drive (what's the difference yo?) and comes with Volcano style heat block.
As always, use OctoPrint to manage your prints easily. Recommend eSun filament too.
