3-bladed prop for RV3

I'm looking for a ground adjustable 3-bladed prop, 68" dia for my RV3. I know Sensenich, Catto (non-adjustable), etc have these props but are in $4000 - $4500 range. A friend told me of NR Props that are well known by the Kitfox crowd and other light sports planes use the Saber blades and are around $1100 but their props are limited to 130 or 140hp. They are ground adj with a nickel leading edge. They do have a prop for 150hp but the smallest dia for that prop is 78" and I would rather not trim it down during takeoff :D

Does anyone know of other companies that are not well known but have good performing props at decent prices? If I don't ask I won't know and I'd rather not assume.

Thanks
 
Why do you specifically want a 3-blade? Catto 2-blade is about a thousand bucks cheaper - about $2500 these days for just the prop without nickel LEs, spinner, or specific prop spacer, etc.
