Can't say I have... but always thought the original pretty exxy for what they are. Probably more a case of relatively low production AND cashing in on the FG/SS revival/fad.

You would've thought some of those flattering plagiarists in China might've come up with something by now. I know when I was riding the FG wave double toe straps were all ludicrously priced until a few rebranded generics came along.

I think I remember reading on Saint Sheldon's pages somewhere you can file an edge of the axle that sits in the dropouts to give you (upto) a few mm's worth of 'adjustment'. Not especially elegant... but...

these are alternative and elegant and expensive but you can move them from bike to bike...

They're expensive, but the quality is amazing; an eno is actually worth it.

I run some white hubs. They are excellent and, relative to the competition (Chris King, Alchemy etc), superb value.

I love my eno. I would definitely make the investment - you will only need to spend the money once as they are absolutely bulletproof.
