Frank have you tried W.L.Weller 12 yo?I'm impressed at 25 bones.Something about this 12 yo stuff....Elijah Craig is another good friend and about the same price.Believe it or not I like both better than Elmer.

I'm pretty sure I have had the WLW 12 but it's been quite a while. Often, but not always, I prefer wheated bourbon over what can be overly spicey rye types. I will go searching for a new jug ASAP! You are generally right on the mark and I seem to recall liking it more than the 107 proof Weller.
I also like E Craig alot, but I'd have to snag a bottle and do a taste test with Elmer before I'll commit that EC is better. But you are correct, the pricing is silly, especially since I have been able to find Elmer for $24. Either way, it's a no lose debate.
Moving up a step or two (or 3) in price, have you tried Rock Hill Farms? About $40-45 around here, but worth it at least once...in my opinion anyway.
Which is the Dickel you like so much? Every time I go to the shpo I am not sure what to buy.
