Well, price is going to be nearly impossible. Things cost different amounts from store to store not yet different places. Just look at Vanquish's tank. In Singapore they apparently get a lot more fabulous sps at reasonable prices than I have ever seen in the states. The other info can be found in a lot of good books or many online sources. Unfortunately, they often disagree. It does at least give you a starting place. Also if there is a specific coral or fish you are looking at, ask on RS. We will add our experience if we have any.
Sorry, but i do most of my research through web sources starting with Google. I often look at wetwebmedia.com as well. Boomer or Boomerd recently recommended some good books. There is a thread somewhere. I will try to find it and post again in a bit if I do.
Hope that at least gives you a place to start.
