Best Audio battery reasonably priced for us canadians?

I need to pick up a few batteries for my battery bank. ive got a Visonik V4000XD @ 1 ohm and about another 1000rms in component amps, so Im looking for a pretty stout battery bank.

Only problem is everythings expensive to get here. Is there any good deals on deka intimidators or those C&D tech batts. Im looking for a batt for a daily driver, something realiable, and for around $200 or less.

If I cant find anyhting local, would those big motomaster eliminator's from canadian tire do anything? The big 1000 cranking amps 160min reserve HEAVY but regular batteries they sell? 4 of them suckers.....

Any advice welcome, throw it at me

Not Looking for "crap" im Looking for possibly an alternative, like debadged deka intimidators (anyone know what napa sells the deka intimidator replica as, its name anyways)

There are quite a few cheaper options for the same battery in the states, just was hoping for a cheaper alternative for us canucks. Looking for 2-3 batts myself.

nsb90 is a good cost effective battery, you can get 2 for the price of 1 new 1700

deka intimidator would fall under "anything" category. those things are not that great.
