Looks like you have done a bit of homework on this and my compliments. You have listed many assumptions about Traditionals that are just not so. However, looks like you are leaning toward an in-line. I shoot and teach both regularly but love my Traditionals, so won't or can't put any of them down. Keep looking and here are some recommendations with your price range in mind. I might add that I own T.C's, Traditions, Lyman, CVA and Knights. Hope you enjoy your new shooting adventure to a point of wanting a Traditional.

1) TC Black Diamond; No longer listed in their current catalog but still available from suppliers. You have the option of #11, Musket and 209 Primers.
Thompson will still support this rifle.

2) TC Omega. Strictly a 209 primer, simple and easy.

3) Traditions: Pursuit or Tracker Family. Again, strictly 209 primer. Not S.S. but nickle plated for weather protection.
