I was in a similar spot when I started, only with the Rift S (before corona fucked the VR market). I got a kinect one, and it was easy to setup and decent for dancing etc but left me wanting more. Soo I tried some chinese garbage called Nolo which was 10x the cost of kinect and wasn't any better.
I got 3 pucks brand new and one "opened box" basestation from china. Which actually worked well and I used only that one basestation for a couple months before getting a second one.
