The term "integrated amp" means different things to different people. To some, the term implies on-board input switching, tone controls, a tape loop and phono preamp. Others consider it "integrated" if it simply has a volume control.
If you have cabinet space for two chassis, I would recommend a separate amp and preamp. Bottlehead makes kits, and they're very highly regarded. A separate preamp and SET amplifier are within your budget. These products will give you the most bang for your buck, and they have distinct advantages over buying used gear or (ugh) Chinese junk.
