If you are looking for a functional setup with all the hydraulics then you are right. But. Just a plow blade can be had for very little and is easy to modify to connect to the loader.

I wouldn't trade my 2630 for the world. I love it. One of the reasons I bought it is because it has the 3 cylinder vs the 4. I honestly can't imagine needing more power in that particular frame. It's so light, you lose traction waaay before you run out of power. On the pto, one of my implements is a chipper capable of 5 inch wood - which I have run through it on occasion. The tractor is perfectly suited to this. Very nimble, refined tractor. I'm used to big equipment, and I tend to be pretty particular, and I can tell you that I'm very pleased and impressed with this little tractor.

I wouldn't be concerned about the vibration on the 4cyl models until you try them out and see for yourself. I use my B3200 for 8hrs a day sometimes and the vibration doesn't bother me, it is only at a very specific rpm and I see no need to run it that fast anyways.
In the current lineup the B3200/3300 or the B3030 would be the ones I consider most versatile. They are compact in size like the smaller tractors, but have a longer wheelbase (more stable, smoother ride), more 3pt and loader capacity, and more hp at the PTO. I run a 5' bush hog with mine and use all the available power in really tough cutting.
As to the position control vs quarter inching I don't think it's as big of a deal as a lot of people make it out to be. All my life I've been farming with tractors that have position control and I go back and forth between them and my B3200 interchangeably, I really don't even notice anymore. In fact, for some things like very precise grading the quarter inching is better IMO. I can move it in much smaller increments than with any position control setup I have run.
