When I was looking for an excavator I wanted to focus on the scale look of the machine with my current fleet of trucks, a lot of the machines can be too big and heavy, they would dig up almost anything you throw at them, but when it was time to load a dump truck or bring a trailer next to it for transport, it would look soo out of scale that it almost made them (the trucks) look toy-ish (for my taste). The 966 wheel loader, the wedico 345 cat and the Leimbach 922 Leibherr are my #1 choices. I would stay away from anything made in HK, if it's cheap that means there is a big reason for it. German made stuff is the best in my opinion when it comes to heavy machines. Good luck!
