Orbi Satellites - availability

I guess this is just a rant...but hoping for some insight from this forum.

 

I have an Orbi RBK50 system (a router and 1 satellite) in my house and it is awesome.  Didnt realize what we were missing until I replaced an aging Apple system.  We have a converted detached garage which I was hoping would get covered by the RBK50, but alas it does not.  I have run an ethernet cable to the garage and was planning on buying a new satellite to plug into it. Given the layout of my house, I dont have easy options of relocating the existing router/satellite.

 

Here is my issue: Is it just me or is it hard to source a (somewhat) affordable ethercable-ready orbi satellite?  Seems like the prices are relatively high...even approaching the cost of a router+satellite set.
