Default Source for 70W MH bulbs?

Does anyone know of a source for any of the higher quality 70W metal halide bulbs, like those made by Aqualine AB or Ushio?

I can't seem to find any on any of Canreef's sponsors websites, and would much rather shop Canadian if I can. I'm not looking for any specific color, I'd like to try a few different ones and have a couple on hand for different projects... Any ideas?

Unfortunately not too many people stock the 70w bulbs... Best bet is usually ebay for these bulbs anyway... Though most of the stores should be able to get them - believe coralife sells a few 70w's...

I bought a couple of Ushios from Nano-tuners but then decided to try a few of the e-bay versions...I've been just as happy with their results and I have a lot more money left in my pockets now.
