Best SDS drills on the market are Hilti & Dewalt. Hilti is out of you r price bracket, so go for a dewalt, you should get one for around the ton mark. If you can out work that, without of course trying to take walls down with it, you will be really going some.
Bosch over Decack any day.

I gave my Bosch SDS drill hell for 5 years till the SDS part stopped working.
I bought another Bosch as its replacement.....enough said
They are for sale under £100 these days

I have one of these http://www.powertools2u.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm?store=powertools2u&productid=HR2450 just £8 over your budget but I can't fault it. If it got nicked, I'd get another.
Hitachi drill, and Bosch s4 bits.
bosch blue. indestructable.
I would never buy second hand tools, you never know what you are getting.
Bosch S4 ftw.
I personally have always found Dewalt to be cack... Bosch and Hitachi Drills all the way for me... (Although I'm currently using a pair of Bosch greens (diy) as my van was broke into a few years back and I brought them as a stopgap...they are both nearing the end of their life now (clutch is just getting weaker and weaker) but for the money I really can't complain)

To throw another one into the debate: my Black & Decker SDS has taken a battering (pretty hefty diy jobs) and has come through smiling.
I know B&D have a crappy rep here but, for the money, I can't fault it. Got it from Argos for £60. Comes with a decent (IMO) bunch of SDS chisels/bits and a wee pot of grease that tastes just yummy!
Hopefully, one day, I can afford real tools but until then ....
