A vx2000 is around $1400. Gl1's are alright but not great. Most of the ones you'll find now are in bad condition and they're not worth it. If you're looking for a good quality cam but not the newest get a vx1000. They are around $1100 or so for one in good condition. Be careful when buying one though because the heads get worn easily and the viewfinder cable's break easily but those are easy to fix.

I would not even look at GL1s...at least get a GL2 but the best bet is a vx2100 and i believe they are upwards of 2000

Seriously,I wouldn't even look at the gl series.

Im sure the vx2100 will be way to much in your price range.If you want a good quality camera for cheap,check out the gs series from Panasonic.
