IMHO, if you are going double roller, $100 is cheap for the quality. You obviously want something stronger than stock, but if you try to get too thrifty, you'll end up with less.

i bought a cloyes 9-1145 it cost $56.95 at www.summitracing.com .
its a street true roller, i was same as you, i'm not paying $100 for a timing chain. especially when they are mass produced no telling where.
details on the 9-1145 from summit:
Cloyes Street True Roller timing sets are aimed at the value-driven racer. They have precision-machined, cast iron cam sprockets and induction-hardened, billet steel crank sprockets. The crank sprockets have three keyways for timing adjustment--4 degrees retarded, 4 degrees advanced, and normal. The chains are rugged, double-row types with oversized 0.250 in. rollers that deliver long life and reliability.

3145 is the most popular, and they can be found for cheap.
I sold one a while back that was brand new in box for like 75 bucks since I thought it wouldn't work with my 24x plans...then right after I sold it they released the timing cover that can use DR timing chains .

Be aware that most double row timing sets have a thicker crank sprocket. In some cases the sprocket is 0.017" thicker (Cloyes and Comp timing sets we've worked with). In other cases it is even thicker (Rollmaster). Also watch out for the "true billet" timing sets because they are also rather thick.
What this means is your accessory belt will begin to leave deposits all over the front of your engine as it slowly deterioriates.
You should measure the thickness of your stock crank sprocket (which is 0.526") and your new crank sprocket and then mill that thickness from the crank hub (or balancer).
