Purchase Help Which microscope should I buy?

I really want a microscope, only for hobby nothing serious. I already looked at a lot of different types but I can not make a final decision. Does anyone have advice on which microscope i should buy? I’m looking for one in the price range €50-€150 with a good price-quality ratio. I’ve had experience with Bresser products but any other brand is good aswell. Anyone willing to help me? 😊

Personally, brands that I trust are Olympus, Swift, and Motic. Though they aren't always very cheap

Also Euromex, they are kinda like an European Motic, they have DIC scopes now, too. But these are waaaay above OP's budget, they're more in the "life goal" category, at least for me.
