Spécialités TA Cyclotouriste for prices around $50.
But you are right, the Deore is a good alternative and very much the modern standard.
Wow, $400? I have one and had no idea it was worth anything close to that but that is an asking, not a selling price, and that is perhaps also a NOS price. $50 is cheap for a TA; I suspect they go for more than that in the US.
