Well the and spectra tank is not the premium one. Summit sells it and the cheap one. Premium tank is $74 more. Looks like the finish on the cheap tank is “natural” and the premium is tin plated. Natural means it will rust out with today’s crappy gas!

I don't think they do stainless steel? You could check their catalog: https://www.spectrapremium.com/en/aftermarket/north-america/fuel-tankFind the part number for the tank and google it, and you will get an idea of who has the lower prices. Several years ago (2015), I got my '69 Coronet EFI tank (CR9CFI) from Amazon ($366.02), but they really increased the price since then ($449.20) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LPIP7J0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Rock Auto seems to have good price on the tank, for the CR9CFI = $394.79 + 17.99 shipping to my house, so $430.32 Summit is $451.99, but free shipping. AutoZone is $436.99

Found them at AMD pretty reasonable. Could not find one in Stainless Steel, though. Didn't look at ORckAuto did you? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,1968,charger,5.2l+318cid+v8,1078815,fuel+&+air,fuel+tank,6268 Stainless right there and way cheaper than $400+
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Rock Auto seems to have good price on the tank, for the CR9CFI = $394.79 + 17.99 shipping to my house, so $430.32 Summit is $451.99, but free shipping. AutoZone is $436.99
the FI means fuel injected. That's why it costs so much/ OP didn't mention FI though...

Also didn't mention year and model !! to quote for the OP's very first post Where is my best source for a 68 charger Spectra tank? Anyone bought one lately? Does Spectra make a stainless steel one?

I buy my Spectra Premium tanks on ebay. The company name is Spectra Premium. They do not have separate lines of tanks like a cheap line and a premium line. R. Well then AMD is selling a Spectra Tank that is a lot cheaper. It may not be made by Spectra, idk. I read between the lines and it is raw steel and not coated like the Spectra Premium I found st Summit. I’ll check eBay but I could not find one the first time. I think the customer decided on a stainless one I found at vans on eBay. Thanks for the input.
