You might consider DIY. There are lots of things you can experiment with cheaply, then buy the high priced spread when you know what you need.
For example, if you think you need sub traps (so many rooms do), buy a few round bales of ordinary fiberglass insulation at about $10 each (returnable to most stores), and try out the concept. Sure, this won't get you beyond 60-70% effectiveness, but that's a lot and will tell you a lot. Then buy the big stuff if you need it.
Look up the DIY designs. You don't have to build a tower to your power, you know. You can experiment cheaply with a variety of readily available absorbers and diffusers first. I built my room lens clones for about $25 for a pair and they worked very very very well! I could have mocked up a less effective facsimile more easily for less too.
I don't doubt that the commercial stuff is more effective. How far that goes, I don't really know.
Every room is different. There are a few popular and effective routes, not simply one, you know...
