One more thought - a $1000 budget means $500 for the camera, $150 for the other lens, $120 for the off camera flash and bracket, $85 for the tripod ...
My camera body was about 1/3rd of my total $1250 budget for a shooting rig. The pros here can help refine the numbers, but he definitely shouldn't blow all his money on a camera and then have red eye in every pic because he has no budget for off camera lighting.
