Everything TattooBrad said. Seriously look at USAKilts casual package. You budgeted a decent amount, you could go Stillwater and save some money or you can upgrade to Poly-Viscous with USAKilt. And Hey if you talk to Rocky real nice he'll bring the cost up to that $250 threshold (just don't go spreading that around). That being said if you were to go with SWK I'm sure you'd still be more than happy with the kilt.
