I was about to pick up an a1 mini. Are there alternatives for beginners in that price range?

Check creality's offerings. I'm happy with my ender v2, and it was about $130....before I started sinking a bunch of money into the hobby lolzzzzz

All other alternatives in that price range you will need to tinker a lot more with. Just a fyi
