It has been said before but it doesn't hurt to say it again.
I was considering getting a cargo barrier before going to Shark Bay, Coral Bay and Exmouth last month so I called all the Perth distributors of the Milford cargo barrier that I was interested in. Look at the results from most expensive to cheapest, for exactely the same product fitted to only one position (i.e. behind the second row seats):
ARB: $720.00
ORE: $630.00
Central 4WD: $589.00
TJM: $573.00
Auto Extra: $565.40
Wesbar Vanquip: $556.00
K & N 4WD: $510.00
TI Engineering: $488.00
Addabar: $480.00 (and that one actually include fitting to 2 position, one behind each row of seats).

Now I can't speak about the actual quality of the work any of those place would provide but that's showing a possible saving of $240!!!
In the end I decided not to get a barrier which saved me even more and proved to be the right decision because we manage to pack the car so no lose items could come flying from the back if I had to brake hard (which I did once).
But I know now that it is definitely worth having a good look around and most importantly that if it can be sourced from a shop not specialising in 4WD it is likely to get cheaper.
Cheers,

Sly.
