I assume the 60g is a 4' tank? That makes a big difference in led fixtures.
If it is, two Mars Aqua 16" led fixtures would work. They sell for just under $100 each on ebay. Lots of people here use them, I never have but I've used ones very much like them. There are led fixtures with a lot more options for you to fine tune the look of the light in the tank and how bright and built-in controllers. But as far as the light in the tank goes, they are all pretty much the same as long as they are using 3 watt or 5 watt leds (some use 0.5 watt leds which are only good for very shallow tanks).
Take a look at this post and consider what options, if any, you might want.

If your decision is forcing you to want to go new I would suggest AI Primes at the high end of your budget, or I usually about once a month see someone selling some kind of nice LED on craigslist for $200-$400 if your feeling like a bit of a gamble or Ron Reefmans suggestion (BEST OPTION IMO)
