I write primarily on my Royal Futura 800, and I'm looking for some recommendations for what could be considered the "all time best portable typewriter ever". Mechnical or Electrical, under $1500 (fedia.io)

I write primarily on my Royal Futura 800, and I'm looking for some recommendations for what could be considered the "all time best portable typewriter ever". Mechnical or Electrical, under $1500 ideally. What would you folks consider to be the absolute GOAT?

Best typeface, cleanest action, easiest to use, smoothest output, whatever your metric.
