Where practical I have linked to the manufacturers website for stability. You'll have to do your own bargain hunting.
Try to lump purchases from resellers like Amazon, Walmart, and AliExpress. This may get you free shipping.
In some cases I have listed the manufacturers weight after verifying that my example is "close enough"

Key Red Star - Cheap, perhaps too cheap Green Star - Value, compares well against more expensive options Yellow Star - Upgrade, But you may want to buy once, cry once, from the outset
