budget german bow

hello, I have a low budget to buy a german bow (mine is broken). I've found on web this:
Shanghai yitamusic Musical Instruments Co., ltd.

and this:
Carbondix Carbon Double Bass Bow 3/4D - Thomann Cyberstore Italiano

any other suggestion?
maybe this:
Brazilwood upright bass bows
for me 250/270 euro including shipment is the maximum I can pay.

I'd also look at these. I've had one as a back up for years.

I got an Ophelia from Nick Lloyd, and I like it in that "pizz dude who practices arco" way. The price is right, I've practiced and improved a lot with it, and my teachers have dug it.

Another "vote" for the Shen Ophelia, which is one of my back-up German bows.
