I agree with the folks saying maybe go for a milling machine. You could get a little bench mill like the smaller Precision Matthews for not too much more, but tooling and everything will be another half to 3/4 of that budget for mills. Great if you want to get in to milling, though.
For nice new drill presses, Jet and Powermatic both offer solid machines, especially variable speed ones. Make sure you get yourself a good drill press vice and actually use it and clamp it down. And a set of really good metalworking drills, like these or a Norseman set or something. Those two things will make just about any drill press you wind up with more than capable.
