What parrots should I get?

I have ruled out the following species for various reasons :

Galahs
Plum heads
Turquoisines
Scarlets
Mulgas
Princess
Kings
Cockatiels
Budgies
Quakers
Purple crowned lorikeets
Little lorikeets
Rainbow Lorikeets
Green cheek conures
Maroon bellied conures
Jenday conures
Fischer, Mask, Nyasa and PF lovebirds
Yellow Rosellas

I am looking for something different, nothing too noisy or expensive

Elegant, Blue-winged, Varied Lorikeet, Malabar or Slatey-headed perhaps?
You've ruled out a couple of beauties IMO - Scarlet & Plumhead

Ruled out the Scarlets and Plumheads because I currently keep both of these.

Not interested in Elegants, Blue-wings, varied lorikeets possibly Malabars in the future. Slatey-heads are a step back from Plumheads.

Thought about Rock Parrots but they are too plain in colour

Hahns Macaws seem good.
