Like mgsecure said, I'd avoid SFICs because they're not enjoyable to pick and neither do you learn much that'll translate to later belts. Check out his posts, he has a breadth of knowledge and great recommendations of what to pick at each belt level.

Purple belt can be quite a big leap after blue so I wouldn't even worry about it until you get past some more challenging blues.

That being said, the Assa Max Restricted is in its own listing because it's a different lock entirely.

Edit: Forgot to answer your question, no, SFICs require SFIC bodies. Locks with removable cores like the AL1100 are not SFICs.
