Well never build it myself, but I would think its a good one on that fact that it is much simpler than the MG but that is actually a high price for that kit. You could get the much better Master Grade version for less. Also Its not "on sale". This kit is in NO WAY worth $70. The high price for this specific one you mentioned is around $25.
Here is the Master Grade or MG version of Exia.

The master grade while it is more complex, There is also a lot more detail in the kit as well. It just requires a bit more paitence. You can tell its an MG if it has the gold seal that is on the tip right of this box. http://imgur.com/a/9vYRp.
Master grade Model kits have an inner frame to mobile Suit that the armor attaches to.
Or you I would suggest the 1/100 scale Avalanche Exia. This is like the Exia you picked out but it has a lot more detail, but its also good for beginners.

It is a simple but an amazing kit to put together. Also it has a lot of extras.
If you'd like I think I have an extra MG Exia that I can send you, just pay shipping :D.
In under 60, you can most certainly get some good MGs. I normally get my stuff from Japanese online stores, but the shipping will probably break your budget. So look on Amazon, I'm seeing a good amount of good kits under 60. Including:
I haven't browsed Amazon extensively but I'd also look for the MG Jesta and MG GM 2.0, MG Zaku II.

these are just my personals as they are fairly light weight in terms of armor and weapons but they do great. i especially recommend the 3.0 but its abit fragile but it poses, articulates and has alot of movies pieces.
The linked kit is not a MG kit. It is a 1/100 NG kit. It will be very similar in construction to the 1/144 HG kits you've already built.
MG Exia can be found here.
I have not built it yet. Its /u/goodguydan's favorite kit from what I can gather on his blog.
