I think the reason you're getting alot of recommendations to go outside JL is that you asked about pricing...... and as previously stated, JL and bargain dont go together. They're top-notch products at top-shelf prices. I've loved every JL product I've used, but when I decided to upgrade and checked the prices on w7's, I decided that even if they do rock, they just cost too **** much for a poor college student. To clarify what I'm saying... I'll compare buying your beer at a liquor store vs going to a bar: while a cold draft beer is heaven (JL), a case is a better value (internet brands)- the beer will still be tasty, and you get more of it for the same price.
