There's a more detailed thread out there somewhere but this is what happened, in brief: When the price of Besgrow started to climb, I looked around for non-NZS alternatives. SuperMoss looked good but after several conversations with their customer service rep, he finally admitted that the bosses wouldn't tell him what was in it. Sure, there could be many reasons why the content was secret, but for me it was a red flag - if it was the Good Stuff, why not brag about it? So, I kept looking and eventually found Chilean/Peruvian sphagnum moss on Ebay. I talked to the importer about my needs and he told me I would be better off with the higher quality stuff (3A). I tried it and I'm not going back. It has many fewer leaves and twigs than my last couple of batches of NZS and a better price.
