Got it from a guy on Ebay, at 99 dollars with 5 bucks shipping it is the cheapest I have seen. It is the all black edition but wish the liners were black too :( The sticker item # Spyderco C81GBK2

I don't know of any other way to get polished bevels. Edge Pro tapes are also in essence, strops. Maybe the higher grit, more expensive stones like choseras and shaptons can give you a mirror bevel too but I have no experience with those. A complete set of choseras or shapton pros is my dream setup though.

Note: Polished bevels are not just the result of stropping but of preparation too. Proper grit progression(using a higher grit stone to erase the scratch pattern from the a lower grit stone) is also a requisite, as far as I am aware.

Ah, I remember, a powered setup can also polish bevels with just a two different grits.
