Novara SS cage from REI is a pretty decent Ciussi knock off for a reasonable price:
I've got the Ciussi, King Iris and REI stainless cages on my bikes. Most of my bikes have the REI cages, which are a real bargain for SS cages. They cost $12 each now, but were only $8 when I got most of mine.
The King cages look the nicest but grip bottles more than I like, making them hard to take out. The Ciussi are next in appearance but not worth the extra expense compared to the REI cages.
