Sorry to say it but that's the price of safety...  I just had one made
by ATL for my '70 Lola FF and it ran about the same - a little higher. 
The finished product fits as something that price should and I expect it
to do its job in the same manner (actually, I hope it is never
tested...)!

Look at it as an expense amortized across the life of the car - it hurts
less that way.  Good luck on your search but this is not an area to "cut
corners" on.
