12 deg sweep bars

I've tried a few flat/low-rise bars and the range of 12 - 14 deg is perfect for me. Specifically like (from experience) the Syntace 12 deg Vector, but I'm looking for something much less expensive. No luck. Seems like 8 deg is the new black. Any suggestions?

What's your definition of "much less expensive"?

Bontrager RL Big Sweep Handlebar Alloy 640mm x 31 8mm x 12 Degree Bend

Salsa makes an 11 degree bend (pretty much the same as a 12 degree unless you are counting hairs).
Thanks - I wasn't aware of the Bontrager bars. But, they are too narrow - I should have mentioned I'm looking for 700mm.

I currently use those Salsa bars on my daily driver and may just get them for my new build too. The rise of the Syntace bar makes a noticeable difference and is really a perfect fit for me, but at $200+, quite a splurge. I now see Syntace makes an aluminum version (Vector 7075) for ~$100.
