Reasonably-Priced Armor

I realize that you don't want to go cheap on something that could potentially save your life, but I'm also not made of money....
I picked up a new plate carrier at the surplus store and decided, like other things, it's time to armor-up while I still can. Can anyone suggest a good, reasonably-priced online source for picking up some armor? Likely looking for Level III.

511tactical.com has some good plates and kevlar inserts.
If you are law enforcement check out: vestsforlife.com (the armor of god project) it provides free (used/sometimes new) body armor for LEOs who arent provided it by thier agencies.

Might check out infidelbodyarmor.com as well. They are out near Royse city. They don't really run a physical store anymore, but you can call and arrange to go out there and pick up the armor directly if you want.
