I don't know what you call pricey ... but I bought my Dura Ace 10 speed TT shifters new for 75€. They came with brake cables and housings even for that price. The front is a sort of raspy friction action (which I like because it helps to trim the front mech) and the rear is Shimano STI.
Great stuff
