The Godin Kingpin (the one with the single P 90) is also quite small bodied and has a decent reputation.
They're also hollow, and Grant Green played an ES330.
The baby Benson style might work - dealing with full depth guitars sometimes requires a change of posture. My right hand position and picking action is very different with an arch top to eliminate discomfort.
Not as readily available as a Casino - I suspect you'd need to find a used one - but they should come in under your budget.
For the OP’s budget though, you could do worse than having a look at a used Peerless. The other one that I found to be welcome surprise for not too much money was a Samick-built Epiphone Joe Pass.
Now if I were to stand on a stage.... that said one of my best friends who is a jazzer, is happy to use his es175 and he is definitely not tall. Jazz people are above all that rock posing thing
No seriously, go with what sounds best but if you are to get a big guitar get at least one that is fully hollow.
I have one but no real plans to sell, unfortunately.

Not exactly!
The Casino Coupe is a pretty similar guitar. @erky32 has just bought a new one and may give you a steer on how it is when he gets it.
Good luck!
