Buzzken on eBay seems to be the most favorable, price wise. The appearance isn't as nice, but as long as it's actually 304 or better stainless, it should do fine in the application.
There are some outfits on eBay that are selling just the DP without the midpipe for $250 or so, but they don't work on US models without some additional modification. I reached out to one of the vendors and they said they would happily make a US spec DP if I provide them with a stock DPF to get measurements. Obviously I'm not eager to send them mine. But I plan to recommend they buy one of the handful of stock US pipes on eBay to do their R&D.
