Allen Brothers won a mail order prime steaks taste test some years back, even beating out Wagyu that was north of $200/Lb. I had a friend do me a huge favor and as a thanks I said I'd get some of them and we'd have a dinner just to try them out. The unanimous opinions of the 8 of us were, these are top notch steaks, but not worth the additional price. Steaks locally (not dry aged), were at the time $18-$25/Lb, and I paid $65/Lb or so for these. Not sorry I did, now I know. But no way am I paying more for another piece of prime beef. I'll raise my own cows first. That's the sure fire way to get what you want.

(edit to add)
As a bonus on the order of that size, they sent a free trial pack of their burgers (made from trimmings of the dry aged steaks). Now those, wow, ok, that's not something you can make at home, and they're really not much more than buying ground beef at the store. Those I can highly recommend. I bet if the word ever gets out on those, the price will skyrocket.
