I reckon it has to be the Resonance

For your first FPJ it has to be the Resonance. I am not sure about the price from used market but I think you probably can get one with some top up on your budget. Why I suggest Resonance is simply because it is only FPJ that you get this "complication". The duality from Philippe Dufour is not the same even it has two b wheels and may look similar. The concepts are different - FPH relies on resonance while Dufour uses deviation averaging through mechanical means. Regardless, I personally think the Resonance is something worth having if it is to be your first and (may or may not) be your only FPJ. The Dufour would be really really nice but you can't get it now because it is not longer available. The others from OCTA range could be a consideration but they are not uniquely Journe as the Res. Just my 2cents worth of opinion.
