Which case would be a direct improvement over the Lancool 2 mesh?

I've had this case for 4 years now and I do love it, but I don't like the very limited fan placement options so I'm considering what to get as a replacement.
I mainly wanted to move my LFIII 360 to the top which Lancool 2 can't do, but any alternatives I've seen are either too expensive in my area, or downgrades in terms of thermals which is my priority. I also wanted to fit another fan below the GPU, and to be able to fit 3 140mm fans on the top/front in the future along with a 140mm fan in the back.
The Lancool 3 seems to check all boxes on paper, even if it would be a boring upgrade, but GN review shows visibly worse GPU temps which would make it a downgrade. I was considering Antec Flux Pro but it's over 260€ in my area, while I can't find any decent reviews for the non-Pro and its termals. Lancool 217 isn't available anywhere in my area, and 207/216 look fairly boring tbh.
Was anyone in a similar situation or has an ide on what would be a good upgrade path? I really wish Lnacool 2 could at least fit a 360 aio at the top but alas.

I'm sorry you didn't get any replies and I know this is already a couple months old, but I'm curious what did you end up getting? (I also have a mesh II)
