Best place for wood floors?

I’m in the process of pricing floors- of course everything I want is way out of my budget. I went to LV wood floors and pretty much loved everything but again too expensive. Attached is a photo of the style I love. I want wide plank french oak floors or possibly floors pre-cut in a herringbone pattern. My budget is $4-8 per sq foot. I checked a few places online, Builders Direct etc and none of them really had what I’m after. I’m going rent a zip car this weekend and will check out as many stores as I can. Any places that I must check out that could have what I’m looking for?

We got flooring from Build It Green for $1.50 a square foot, vs. $11 a square foot at Moon River Chattal. It was a small amount though, but this was some time ago — hopefully they are now milling in quantity.
