You also need to take into account the connections and requests/second. There are huge price differences in devices, but also huge performance differences.

I've not used Kemp but it's probably what I'd suggest here. $2000 is really low for this kind of setup. You'll only get one for sure, and usually load balancers are deployed as HA pairs.
Depending on what you need to do you may be able to do it with Varnish?

Get two Dell R210 servers and run LVS + Keepalived or linux-HA and you are way under $2k.
