Advanced factors do a quality aftermarket one for about 380 or a genuine (gkn??) For about 450. I know which one I'm fitting when I get around to it...
The genuine one BTW
Are you sure you fitted it the right way round? The uj section has to be aft of the centre bearing. I've seen them fitted backwards before now

Perhapsa silly question, but who needs a new prop? If the bearings fail then you put new ones in? Or can't you do that anymore

More and more props with center bearings are becoming a single item. Disco 3 is the same, "one piece" unit.

You can change centre bearing and service uj on d3/4/rrs l322 but by the time you've split the prop and fannyarsed around trying to get the bastard to seal properly again you might as well throw a new one on. The genuine ones last a good while anyway
