Are there any decent mid-range spreaders?

The Herd M12 has been my go-to for a decade. I had to adapt my own to iMatch, they're not quite there yet, but it's about as solid a 3-point spreader as you'll find for maintaining a large lawn, which is what I do with it. I put about 4200 lb. of product thru it every year.

Order it with the aluminum fan, if you go that way, lawn fertilizer products will obliterate the vanes off the standard plastic fan after a half dozen years.
