What would be your preference?
All comments appreciated!
New or Used?
If new, I would probably try to take that budget and put it into something used with a better quality.
I’ve ridden in Stamfords and find them to put riders in a tipped forward position, and be really slick.
I’ve never ridden in that particular Circuit, but have hopped on in student’s Circuits and while they are better balanced, they have a wider twist, that I find uncomfortable.
It also depends on what your goals are. . .
I haven’t ridden in the Beval, but I briefly had that Circuit (in the fwd flap version) and LOVED it. I, sadly, had one of the early ones that had some dye issues so I ended up sending it back, but I really, really liked it. It was very comfortable and put me in a nice position. I didn’t find it had a wide twist - I hate wide twists so I think I would have noticed 
Try both and go with which one fits you/your horse (if applicable) best!
The Premier Special EQ has a fairly shallow seat compared to others in the Premier line. A friend of mine got the Premier SJ with a deeper seat and is happy with it.

That’s a good point - that’s what drew me to it, but the OP may not like that!
