Aluminium front doors

Evening everybody! We’re mid way through an extension and are in the process of looking for a new front door. We’ve stumbled away from composite and towards aluminium. 

We’re quite keen on a timber effect panel with anthracite frame (similar to the picture) and 2x side lights. I am wondering whether anybody has any recommendations/advice on suppliers etc?

Secondly, how much could one expect to pay? Pricing information seems to be quite scant online. So far we have had one quote from Spitfire doors which comes in at £6k including VAT and does not include fitting. This was for a door with 2x 400mm side lights. This feels a little expensive but I have nothing to base this on! I’ve sent an enquiry to Express Bifolds but haven’t heard anything yet. 

any help would be appreciated!
