There are one or two French manufacturers of oboes you may want to try - Loree, Rigoutat, Marigaux, Buffet etc. They all do student models, and good second-hand pro instruments should be available within your price range.
You will get far more "bang for your buck" with a second-hand, professional, well-serviced instrument than if you buy a new student model, though I know the temptation to buy new.
I strongly advise you to get in touch with "The Oboe Fairy" http://www.hannahsoboes.com/ just for a chat.
