Banjo Convert

I’m a banjo player looking to start learning guitar. I’m considering the Billy Strings D-X2E but could go up to $2k if there’s a better option.

I’m a believer in “buy once, cry once,” but I also don’t want to overdo it as a beginner. Living pretty rural, so trying guitars in person isn’t easy.

I’m looking to learn flat picking and just basically trying to get feedback on of the D-X2E is a solid choice or if I should look for something else.
