If you can go 7.65mm, the best choice is DWM pistols made in 1920s. Cheap. No need to go a reblue/mismatch in this case. Original is not more expensive than Interarms. Since Luger was an important pistol in history, even non-Luger collector can get a 7.65mm DWM for its look & feel and structure study without affecting future budget much. The structure is same with other basic 9mm models, except caliber and spring strength. The only drawback is not easy to find ammo. So it cost more to do performance evaluation on 7.65mm pistol. If you reload, probably no problem. And, it's a genuine Luger.
