Corning is who I believe is making the Link cable and this one is $200, $80 doesn't sound to bad comparatively
You can get a TB3 dock (like CalDigit's TS3 Plus: https://www.caldigit.com/ts3-plus) and put it on the shelf near your MBP, then connect the monitors using long cables (e.g., 25ft DP cable) and a USB extension cable (e.g., 20ft USB3.0 cable) and a small USB hub on your desk if you're using a wired keyboard and mouse.
You might be able to get away with using the Apple TB3 to TB2 adapter and then get a long Corning TB2 cable (e.g., 18ft TB2) and a TB2 dock (e.g., Belkin TB2 Express HD dock).
Corning makes optical cables, though I believe they max out at 20 Gbps right now.
Oh, I'd say more like $35 wholesale to $201 name-brand retail based on precedent.
