doughboi, where do you live? If there's a Trader Joe's in your area they sell a rather nice, reasonably priced Tahitian/Burbon blend. I've been using that instead of Nielsen-Massey at home for a while now. I do love Penzy's and they have some other nice products as well.

FYI - Cooks Illustrated recently (3 or 4 months ago?) tested vanillas to find out which brand was the best and whether imitation or real is better. The results are surprising. They said that in baked items they couldn't really tell the difference between real and imitation. Some even felt that the artificial vanilla was better. As for custards and such (if you're not using beans) the real thing is better.
