Leaning towards.
Omega 6217 Jade 22mm black badger if I get to keep the change. I want to try that knot out.
A Simpson in Best if I don't get to keep the change. Probably a 57.

I’d wait until I found another hundred and buy a Plisson
I'm testing this one right now. Not usually a fan of synthetics, but, it's so beautiful. I quite like this one.

Well looking at many Brush's, watching U-Tuber5s Reviews, to buy just one Brush is tough choice. Think many great offering under the $100.00 price point.
The Truefitt & Hill Wellington cured my BAD. I have no need for another brush. I would get a spare but I’d have to wait for another sale. $100 ain’t what it used to be.
I'd go back to Rudy Vey and ask him to make me a brush with a handle made out of osage orange or black walnut, with a new plant-based Mühle STF knot.
To be honest though, I only have my brush for insurance against soap containers I'm forced to deal with. As much as I admire brushes I've learned through experience I always end up lathering by hand. So if I found 100 dollars I'd probably do something else with it, like buy groceries. But if I were forced to spend it on a brush, I'd get a Rudy Vey.

I also almost got one of these, which I think is nice and under 100 usd:

The Club Bandit Synthetic (G5) Brush
Announcing Bandit - a crossover design from Ariana & Evans x Alpha Shaving Works. The brush is machined from aluminium and then lovingly sandblasted before being anodised in an understated two-tone. The colours are part of the anodising process and will not wear off. The handle is snug in the...

There's a million options if you like boars. Slightly less options if you like high-end synthetics (as the one you added a picture of) or mid-level badgers. Not many options for higher tier badgers (two-band or better). It's all up to your preference. Mixed knots are a good option (i.e. Semogue Mistura).
What do you use now? Do you want something different or just a higher-end version of what you have? I ask because that particular Omega Elite is an outstanding brush, especially for bowl lathering. Unless, of course, you only want a stiff, scritchy boar; if so, it will be a disappointment.

I'd get a Semogue SOC - either the 2 band badger or the Mistura badger/boar combo. Last I checked both ran under $80 and are very nice brushes, and the cherry handles are my definite preference.
I won't give a review for a while, but, so far, I like it a lot. I have only used it in a bowl, so, this may be useless information.

Looking at the Plisson I think that you need extra $100.00, many under $100.00 with current sale.
