If you’re not committed to Google Assistant, check out the Echo Plus with Sengled Smart Bulb for $150. While audio may be better on Google Home Max, I reviewed the Echo Plus and was quite impressed by how good it sounded. Additionally, you’ll gain a Zigbee hub which is extremely handy for building out a smart home.
