No new 813s? RF Parts has Taylor brand listed for $37.95.

The comparison was to a *single* 3-500Z, not a pair. A pair of the 
Taylors would run about $76 where a new 3-500Z would be about $140. 
In the big picture of amp building, a $64 difference is not much, 
especially when you remove the cost of one socket,  one plate 
connector, one parasitic suppressor, etc.

Personally, I'd go with the GS-35b however.
