Is there  something else other than phillystran out there that has the same 
electrical  properties but with less cost?


Yes, there is....Polyrod.  It is extruded fiberglass rod used  by broadcast 
stations and power companies.  It is much stiffer than Philly  and is not 
coated.  The price is around 1/3 to 1/2 that of euqivalent  Philly.  Drawback
: it must be ordered in large quantities, and you must  wear gloves since it 
is uncoated.
