First Monaco Recommendations

I purchased my first vintage Heuer earlier this year (an Autavia 1163MH) and am now looking at adding a Monaco to my collection. I'd love to make my first Monaco an 1133G but not sure my watch fund is deep enough at present to secure a nice example. Although I'd much prefer an original Heuer a possible option is an early reissue like the CS2110, 40th anniversary reissue, or similar. What are the group's thoughts on the TAG-era Heuer-branded reissues? Are these respectable entry-level Monacos (despite deviations from the originals) or is it more prudent to wait for a true vintage example? Are there other reissues worth considering besides those mentioned above? I was recently in a local TAG boutique and tried on the 1860 LE but they were asking over $7K for the watch which seemed to be approaching 1133G prices.
