The new Nexus 7 was offered at $199 by Staples recently, so that would have been my choice in your price bracket.

Below 200, the Asus MemoPad is a decent choice, though it doesn't have the specs of the new Nexus 7. There's also the Samsung Tab 7, but that's even a lower spec'ed tablet at a higher price than the MemoPad.

If you can stretch it to 230, then definitively the new Nexus 7 is the one to go for. Otherwise, I think it's between the MemoPad and the original Nexus 7. There should be some good discounts for the original N7 now that the replacement is out the door.
