California Imports in Surrey BC have the 2.1 stainless listed however it is
currently out of stock.  Not sure how it stacks up against the GW model.
They might be able to tell you where you can source one or a 1.9 system
closer to home.

Knowing you are not wanting the big postage and duty costs from the US -
this may be a slightly cheaper option.

If you are hoping to keep your van over the long term stainless is the way
to go if you can bite the bullet.
