Budget ND fader filters

Hello!

I'm looking at some ND variable filters. I would like to know if there any good budget options out there.

I know about these best brands, like Singh-Ray, Hoya, Genus, Tiffen (pretty expensive including shipping to Europe) but there must be some good (not perfect) solutions for less money. I found Bower ND's (known brand), didn't find anything about them. Also Polaroid (found that they're crap), Fotga (I got one, not so happy about it).

So what are your thoughts?
 
The Tiffen ND only sells for around $100 USD. I got mine used for $50 USD and it works very nicely. I made the purchase after looking a lot of reviews, so I'm not the only one who like it. And it's a lot less than the other well-reviewed ones.
 
The Singh-Ray rocks. Sometimes used ones show up in the usual locations. It's 3x the Tiffen's price, which I've had no experience with. Definitely don't get a cheapie though.

It seems like I can get Tiffen for around 200+$ including shipping to Europe, so that's pretty expensive.

I will better try different - If you have a 100$ for a ND and need it desperately for a shoot, what would you choose? There must be one filter in that price range that is better than others. Not so good like these expensive ones but usable.
