i overheard a conversation today at a pastry demo that g.a.f. seelig has a very good quality 100% sicilian pistachio paste that runs about $75/kilo.
If you are in NY, check also at Buonitalia in Chealsea mkt, maybe they have the bronte paste and their prices are generally good.
I have a pastry chef friend here in Brooklyn and he said to me it was much cheaper for them to ship pistachio paste from Italy.
I brought some back with me last summer (Bronte paste) from these guys, I'm 100% sure I got a paste from Bronte. Payed 10.22 euros taxed included for 250 g 
It's maybe good thing to ask if they ship to the US.
Edit to add: and this month they also have a 30% discount on their products.
