Where to find the perfect chaise sofa?

I'm trying to find a more affordable version of this sofa.
I'm trying to find a more affordable version of this sofa. (World Market Quinn Sofa).
Also something like this would work (Ikea Manstad). I'm looking to spend more along the lines of 600-700 delivered, not 1000 delivered like either of these two sofas are. I didn't think this would be all that difficult but I'm having trouble finding sofas in this shape.
This exact shape is important to me. I want the chaise lounge but I do not have a long room and therefore don't want it coming any further out in the room. I could potentially deal with it being wider, but not coming further out. For what its worth, I think the World Market sofa is infinitely more attractive.
Anyone have any ideas for sofas that are shaped like this and are more affordable? I thought Ikea would help me, but apparently not. I do NOT need the sofabed, although it is nice. I don't NEED the reversible feature of the Quinn, but that also is quite nice.
Bonus points if it will look good in this room. Obviously no absurdly bright reds or anything.
Thanks!

I'd be combing Craigslist and the like, for a used but better-quality item. I once bought a cheap sofa and chair from World Market. Never again.

Depending on where you're located, be really careful if you follow jon1270's suggestion - there has been a recent resurgence of bed bugs in some areas, and the last thing you want is to bring them into your home on a used sofa.

Response by poster: I'm in Washington DC. I'm talking Dollars, sorry about that lack of clarity.
I've been looking used but I haven't seen this shape and unfortunately this is pretty much the only shape that will do what I want.
And yes, I had a friend who bought a bed on CL and ended up with bedbugs, which was a miserable experience, so I'm mildly hesitant about that, but not absurdly so.
