No idea on the price of these things.... came across them doing a search and figured I'd ask if any body's seen/heard one... I sure haven't.

What other U47 copies are there? I've seen Wagner and Soundelux and one from Wunder Audio, are there any others on the market (apart from this Flea)?

... and has anyone actually tried/heard any of these against a decent original 47? Interested to hear any feedback, especially on the Wagner.

I think the problem with original 47s is that unless you've found one in a time capsule it's not original anymore either.

I saw a GREAT u47 clone in Berlin at AES - the Horch RM2J - best clone I've ever heard.
