Rob - I'd advise caution if you see any Westinghouse-branded 6386. I was told by someone who worked for GE that genuine 6386 were only branded RCA, GE and Raytheon, and that Westinghouse were typically re-badged 5670. In fact, I even bought a compressor that contained them.
$45 is pretty steep, but I suspect it's because the market is small and they have to recoup tooling and R+D.
edit - has anyone seen JJ / Tesla tubes that match original RCA for noise?
A lot of original 6386 are microphonic - that's something to be weary of when you see them on Ebay.
