I'm biased against AE, maybe to a fault--I have a couple AEs but only in really traditional models. When AE gets into elongated lasts, chisel toes, anything too creative, I get turned off--their previous stylistic experiments have included bicycle toes and a lot of woven leather

. If I had $300 and some time, I'd probably troll the B+S forum or ebay for something else--Paul Smith being the obvious choice (SF stamp of approval!).

That said, I am only one man and the pic you posted looks pretty nice.
