Chris,
DDP have a sale on CPL filters at the moment. I picked up a 72mm Hoya Super Pro 1 for my 15-85 lens last Saturday, for $110 (instead of the rrp of $205). And note that the prices listed on the website are not the sale price (mine is still there as $142, not $110).
I'm also looking at getting a GND in the near future, and I've seen some people on the AP forum suggest that it's just as easy to hold the filter over the lens as you take the shot, and do away with the filter holder and adapter - could be a way to reduce the expense. Several AP members also suggest that the magenta colour cast is not really a problem with the newest Cokin GNDs, and only really becomes an issue when stacking several filters together. Haven't tested this myself though...
Cheers,
Stephen
