By all means buy the set from PA; after all a man can never have enough tools. But for the left hand variety check out ebay. For instance item # 140009699224 is for a left hand and a right hand set of 5/8 taps and is going for a whopping $10.
I find that the left hand taps, even in BSF, show up there on occasion, and usually at great prices. Although the ebay taps and dies may quite often be used, they will almost always chase threads quite fine.
On the topic of taps and dies, if your around Acklands supply, try a can of Crown tap tool oil. (pn 69106). It will leave you with some of the sharpest threads you will ever make.
