Great northern or thunderhorn Lynx. Both connect the top and bottom of the quiver together. Strap on will be more future proof but the quick detach might work well with your take down bolts. Get the long hood!
Like others have said, broadhead choice is the determining factor. If you already own some just tune the insert weight to work with those.
I like using a slightly lighter head and a long heavy insert because I feel the length makes them tougher (in my head mostly)
I have noticed the heaver...
Mine sounds a little hollow when you knock on the butt, not sure if its worse than my factory stock.
Does not feel fragile and there are a whole pile of people with them on here and very few (one?) report of them cracking.
I am not worried about it.
My vote is stockys. With discount code and customer service presence here they are hard to beat.
My bottom metal fit really right but the factory one fit fine. They are also lighter.
I have the orvis clearwater 6 piece. Even easier to pack than a four piece and fits your budget. Ive been thinking about getting the eight foot 4 wt for those remote mountain creeks.
You'll have to do some dremel/file work to clear a space for the bolt release. The stockys thread should have more info if you want it.
That being said, stockys has a program for the t1x so you might be able to ask for a t1x after the initial surge dies down
