If your intention of buying this "spare" is to replace your current prop, why not buy new the same prop you're currently using and happy with? If this spare prop will truly be a backup to your current prop, go with an AL prop. Find used one cheap in good condition on craigslist or eBay. I couldn't justify spending $400-$500 on a brand new SS prop to be used as my "spare", but that's just me.

A good prop shop can rebuild that prop for you and make it good as new, but having a spare on board is always a good idea
