Spinner is another OEM that makes cal kits for big brands like R&S (https://products.spinner-group.com/rf/test-measurement/vna-test-measurement/compact-calibration-kits).
I would definitely consider Maury Microwave an "A-brand". They used to make the HP cal kits.
CM also sells what look like rebranded Rosenberger and Spinner cal kits (https://coppermountaintech.com/calibration-kits/), might be worth comparing prices.
None of the cheaper 4.5 GHz Cal kits listed ?

Aren't ECals specific to a certain brand/series, so (for example) you can't use a Keysight ECal on an Anritsu VNA? Which would make a price comparison table for them moot, since you'll be locked into the same brand anyways...

Which would make a price comparison table for them moot, since you'll be locked into the same brand anyways...Yes, generally speaking I think the ecal modules are only meant to be used with the same brand of VNA.
However, not in all cases though... I think some of the Siglent VNAs support Ecal modules from various manufacturers for example. I've not used a Siglent VNA so I haven't tried this myself.
Just checked SVA and SNA models, both support Ecal kits however neither specify which brand so maybe only the Siglent Ecal modules.
Compatible with several manufacturers ECal kits (contact us for more information)
