In the $1500 range things like the Mini 14 are outclassed, but you aren't quite to the newer designs like the FN FS2000 and are still way under the ACR and SCAR. The Robinson Arms XCR is in your price range, and that's worth a look alongside the Sig 556.
You could look into a piston AR like the Ruger SR-556 or a LWRC if they are different enough for your tastes (if not, forget I mentioned it).
While I'm an AR guy, I'm not going to suggest one to you if you're dead set against it. I'd probably see if a Sig 556 is comfortable for you (they can be front heavy), but I think I'd have myself looking awfully hard at an XCR.
