Check out FTI Converters. I am very happy with their 10.5" converter I am currently running and I have had quite a few converters from different manufacturers.

The Circle-D 278mm is about $375 I believe, and what I'd recommend for under $700. Just over $700, they offer a billet 258mm single disc which is a nice upgrade, a little looser, and quite a bit stronger
