I just sent in an order for AEC+ and found the cost has more than doubled (nearly tripled) since I bought it last. I'm looking for alternatives that are somewhat less costly without sacrificing quality (very important).  What are you all using out there for AEC?  I prefer DAB, but the researcher I'm staining for likes the red product.  I have Vector Nova Red, but since one has to make up 5 ml at a time and I don't use that much, I hate to waste the leftovers.

Thanks for your help!
