Time frame on the aftermarket Eaton Locker is sometime late this year, last I heard. Estimated price (exchange) is $1500-$1800, so if you're inclined to go this route, it would be worth the wait.
On slantback kits, remember that the factory slantbacks were open inside, while with the aftermarket kits the bed and the cab are still separate. Rear visibility with the aftermarket kits is rather poor, but they look cool.
Sounds like you have a good plan. Buy one that's a few years old and save the other money for adding goodies.
