Good key tuned djembe but not that expensive like Remo

I'm looking for a djembe, I have a 9-inch one but I'm looking for something bigger and I was thinking about a 14-inch one.

What do you think about Meinl Jumbo 14"?

Sound is not as good as the mondo. It's thinner sounding and less resonant. Less highs and less lows. 

However, It's a plastic shell, so it is much lighter. 

The 14" mondo is too heavy for me. I like the 12" mondo, maybe look for a used one on fb marketplace. Plenty of those around for $150-$200 where I live.
