There are no "new" Ersons - they stopped making them several months ago. I purchased the last half dozen sets they had, and still keep some service parts on hand. There may be some in inventory somewhere - but I doubt it.

The new T&D street setup ostensibly replaced the Erson, and Erson is selling them as such. But they are considerably different in design. The T&D uses a horizontal bolt at the end to physically attach the end stand to the shaft, and has four independant stands similar to the original stuff. The now non-available Ersons had a consolidated two stand design that I really liked.

The Sharp parts are a very viable option as well - they've been making FE parts for a very long time. They are the only ones I am aware of that use a steel stand instead of aluminum - a pretty good idea.

Here are the T&Ds:
