Retail was $249, found it on cousewhitetail.
Sale pricing 3-4 times per year was $175.
Historical used prices vary from $70 to $150.
I didn’t see any with holes in them.
Best I’ve used for any water type is this Katadyne. Combine with chlorine tablets and you are all set. It is my end of the world filter as well.
