RE: need a new front stuffer
Frankly although I don't havemy Black Diamond anymore (Bone-headed idea to sell it), I never really thought the BD was very difficult to keep clean. Time-wise perhaps an extra 5 minutes or so.
Nevertheless: T/C Omega would be my recommendation (I have two).
There are others as well but in your price range I know the Omega will serve well and it's very easy to clean. (Five minutes or so less than the Black Diamond).
