Looking for a Tremolux style Tremelo Pedal

I'm looking for a good tremelo pedal, possibly tube driven, to go with a tweed deluxe. Basically I'm looking for a pedal that emulates the tremelo of the tweed tremoluxs. If there are kits out there, that'll work too. I've built pedals before. As for price range I'm looking to stay under 200, preferably 100-150. All I've found is the Fuchs Creme De La Trem which is at the top of my budget. Is there anything cheaper out there?

I just recieved a Stigtronics trem today, also, a swamp thang, will get to try both tomorrow. They are to replace the amazing trem on my Victoria trem de la trem-tremolux clone.

The tweed tremolux has power tube bias modulation tremolo, so you'd want something more along the lines of the Monster Swamp Thang than the Fuchs.

I A/B'd the Swamp Thang and the Stigtronics Tremolo. The Swamp Thang won, a little richer sounding, lush. And has the pusating light. The Stigtronics is very nice also. If I wasn't A/B ing it with the Swamp Thang I would be very happy with it.
Especially being Swamp Thangs are very hard to find. And, the Stigtronics tremolo is $139 at Fat Sound Guitars in North Carolina.
