As far as I can remember, SRL Audio was selling the foam diffusers for $50 for a 2' x 2' piece, (maybe with a minimum of 2 or 4 pieces?), same cost as the GIK GridFusor. I can't find his website anymore, although I know he still participates on the Audio Circle, so you could PM him there. His moniker is srlaudio.Of course the extra wood and metal bracing increased the cost of mine quite a bit, but the foam units by themselves are light enough so that one could just glue them to a thin wood panel and hang them on the wall like a picture.
If you want to join two pieces to make a 2' x 4' panels, that's a bit of work. After gluing the halves together, you need to use some fine joint compound to fill up the middle seam. I used a paint stirrer stick with sand cloth attached to sand finish the compound smooth. Used latex caulking to seal between the foam and the wood frames. SRL supplied glue (at an extra cost) to join the pieces together, and to the backboard. And as mentioned above, painting these with a brush was time consuming, maybe a paint sprayer would work and be more efficient.
I've never bought GIK's stuff, but what is neat with the diffusers from SRL is they are packed with an inverted version (think of a cube with two interlocking halfs). Although the inverted version is said not to measure as well as the standard one, it can still be used as a stand alone unit. So you actually get two for the price of one.
