Something low cost, ambient and hardware, immediate and relatively easy to use? I'd look at a second hand novation supernova version 2 or Access Virus. These are both multi-timbral, well endowed with effects and knob encrusted.
Some of 90's ROMplers are very good value and underrated, albeit they can be tedious to programme which might be an issue for you, and without programming will sound a little dated, however the Roland JV1080 is an excellent synth.
There is a fair amount of internet positivity for the Roland JDXi, which has a mini keyboard, inbuit sequencer and little drum machine.
Effects are a big part of ambient music and they can transform the blandest of sounds. For proper money the Strymon or Eventide effects are gorgeous, Zoom do a nice pedal, the MS 70 that pays homage to some effect classics.
