As somebody else noted "very aerobatic" and "touring" are hard to get in the same plane. Some Extra 300Ls in the US are drifting within shouting distance of your budget but probably not quite close enough. I'd go with the Super Decathlon which is an absolute delight to fly aerobatics in and good for taking two people and a bit of luggage cross country if you're not in a tearing hurry. You won't quite get 450nm out of it without a tailwind but I've done a 350nm hop in the Super D. The running costs will be vastly cheaper than the Extra as well.
