Have you looked at any of the Furuno modules?
There is the Furuno GT-8036 on eBay for $20 each which is a M12 timing clone (both physical and software communication). It is
spec'ed at 58mA...

Better than an old UT+ and a little cheaper (and faster shipping) than the M12+T from China.
If you are looking at direct from manufacturer, their latest model is the GT-8536 (but still a M12 clone)... I have no idea what the
price would be.
