I just talked to Full Compass http://www.fullcompass.com/manufacturers/QTG/index.html and they said they can order any Quantegy tape for you. I will be taking delivery of my new 1/4" deck this friday so I ordered a few reels, I think it was $47 for a 10.5 inch reel.

Tapetape.com has used one pass tape. I've been using it for years, but the 2" seems a lot better than 1/4"...
