What still to buy?

I’m seriously thinking about upgrading from the T500 reflux and pot.
I use it exclusively for making Gin so good neutral is what I’m looking for. My other motivation is that I don’t have the time to run the T500 - so slow!
I’ve read a lot here and elsewhere. What I’ve worked out so far is that:
- I need a 50-100 litre boiler
- twin element with good heat control (not 3 phase)
- don’t want to construct anything so modular or premade is the go
- most likely 4 inch
- most likely 4-6 plate (how to decide?)
- needs a botanical basket fitting although I can always make one I guess
I’m forever cleaning my T500 to ensure there’s no taint. So I hope to find something that’s easy to clean.
How long would it take to process each time?
Anything else I should be looking for?
How much should I be looking to spend - $2k enough?
Cheers
