Default Source for sealed connectors (metripack)

I'm cleaning up the wiring for some of my aftermarket electronics (nitrous, switch panels, etc) and I want to use some sealed connectors for a few things. The best I've found in a "kit" form is from Caspers, which includes 4 of each 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 pin connectors with various pins, seals, and plugs. Summit sells it for around $80.

Does anyone have a better source for these connectors? I've looked through ebay and I see lots of kits that have a bunch of single-pin connectors and and only a few other sizes. In my opinion, a single pin connector is a waste. For the price and contents included, I haven't found anything that beats the Caspers metripack kit, but before I bought it I wanted to check here to see if anybody had a good source outside of the usual outlets. Feel free to PM me if necessary. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

I just made a big order from Waytek, but I didn't see anything there in kit form. In fact I couldn't find any of the metripack housings on there, just the pins and seals. I'll check out Del City.

FASTFATBOY, I'm looking for metripack connectors, not weatherpack. The largest weatherpack housing I've found is 5 pins, where the metripacks go beyond 10 pins.

I use waytek for my stuff.
Here's a sample of the metripak parts they have. The housings are listed.

Yes.

I'll need 8 pins at the switch panel, 12 pins at the fuse block. The harness at the engine for the solenoids will need 5 pins, the nitrous controller needs 7 (I think). Some other parts need smaller connectors.
