(Note I'm NOT saying Mesa here)
A GREAT amp in that approx. price range for you would be a used Ampeg SVT 3 Pro. When I had mine I got it used in great condition for $450 on Harmony Central. Very flexible and 450 watts into 4 ohms if I remember correctly. Great head (for not being a Mesa).
Otherwise this Ashdown might be the ticket:

I've got the 1x15 combo with this head for a practice amp and it thumps.

Stay away from the B2R. Not to down Ampeg, but that thing is NOT their greatest invention... I had mine for about 6 hours and had to take it back. On the other hand, the SVT 3 Pro is a fine head for the money and I've also had plenty of luck w/ Hartke over the years...

i had a pretty good experience with the b2r. i like it a lot

I know this wasnt one of the choices, but I'd go with Gallien-Krueger, maybe a 700RB or 1001RB. LOTS of bang for the buck.
