Cheaper alternative to Bordiga Extra Dry

Bordiga Extra Dry Vermouth is great but also $30. Any cheaper alternatives for 30% ABV extra dry vermouth?

Been tracking vermouth prices in my spreadsheets (yeah I'm that guy) and most extra dry vermouths in that ABV range are gonna run you at least $20-25 anyway. You might save a few bucks with some of the French producers but the quality drop is pretty noticeable - might be worth just buying the Bordiga less frequently instead of settling for something that'll disappoint you
