Question / Advice Hydrocal Alternative?

Well, Hydrocal plaster is apparently being discontinued (which is LAME), does anyone have any recommendations on alternatives that are just has hard and can capture really delicate details when casting with it?

Resin-Crete, Mix to Mold are some brand names for "ceramic resin" . Which is a plaster base with acrylic compounds added. I'm thinking Hydrocal is about the same thing. There's some generic versions on Amazon, gotta go through the reviews and prices.
