I've been looking into Tartanista. They're UK-based, seem well within my price range and have a decent variety of tartans. Considering getting a Rob Roy and, after Christmas, a St. Patrick or Irish solid green (the other "Irish" tartan offered doesn't look very good I feel). So if they even marginally resemble the "real thing", I'm all for it.
