Mark,
The Pabst (also German) fans have quite a good reputation. Here's one:
http://www.directron.com/papst8cm.html
That runs at 12db at 1500 rpm's, and clocks in at 19.4CFM. It doesn't have
the high end performance you cite above, but seems comparable at the
low-end. So, if you plan on running it at low RPM's anyway, something like
this might work out fine?
I bought this Vantec fan, which does 27CFM, at 2050 RPM and 21db.

Neither of these choices match the high end performance of the fan you
mention above, but further down the rpm and CFM rating scale they appear
competitive.
