Budget is around $1000, was looking at a Versace or Burberry From Nordstorm....of maybe a ZZenga from Harry Rosen...any other brands you guys recommend I check out for around this price point?

For that price point, Z Zegna hands down.
Z Zegna is suited towards the more modern styles, so shorter length of the jacket, slimmer fit, etc. The plus side, it's cheaper than the E. Zegna traditional line. Also, they will tailor it for you free of charge (if they don't talk about it, bring it up). Make sure to go for the Drop8 Fit (it's slim). It depends on your body type as well, but even if you do squats/big legs/a bit chunky, slim is always better.
Even if I had more to spend, I personally wouldn't invest in something from Versace. Burberry, maybe yes but it's hard to find something you could wear years down the road with your current budget. Also, it would probably be best to physically be in the store when buying suits.
