Well, it looks like Longarce either expanded their line with some cheaper pyrometers, or reduced pricing, because they've got some downright affordable pyros!
I just ordered a tire pyrometer:

AccuTech™ Deluxe Digital Pyrometer — 50640
- Accurate, super-fast response electronics
- 'Holds' highest temp reached
- Compares one temp to another with the push of a button
- Low battery indicator and auto shut-off
- 2000º Range
- ºF or ºC switchable
- Coil cord tire probe and foam lined carrying case included
and an infrared pyrometer:

AccuTech™ Infrared Laser Pyrometer - 850º — 50613
- Instant response, non-contact temps
- Back lites for nite use
- ºF or ºC
- Laser sighting for accuracy
- Padded pouch included
All for cheaper than their previous tire probe pyrometers used to cost. I'll be loaning these to any SECCS members that need 'em at the autoX for the low price of beer after the event.
