Depending on how big of a hurry you're in, you could wait until Christmas when the Fanattic has 35% off jerseys and customization. I think they may do this at the end of the season in June as well? I got a customized white authentic (Gaudreau) for $280. Places like River City Sports and Ice Jerseys have sales every now and then too, usually around 25% off.
The quality between the authentics and replicas is like comparing apples and parrots. Especially with that 25-35% off, I'd invest in an authentic.
