Seeking "unbundled" reseller of Authorize.net

I was setting up a new online business, and hoped to get a merchant account through the Costco co-branded program of Nova Information Systems (a big processor.) This seems like a good idea because the fees are quite reasonable, and because of the Costco affiliation, they stand apart from the rest of the merchant account industry in being not evil. (I have a Costco merchant account already for another business, and they are great, in contrast to all previous providers I have dealt with, who were expensive and thoroughly evil.)

The complication is as follows: I also wanted to get Authorize.Net gateway and virtual terminal services. Nova works with Authorize.Net, but is not actually a reseller. Resellers I can find seem to always bundle Authorize.Net products with their favored merchant account. Applying directly to Authorize.Net is possible, but they quote prices much higher than those typically quoted by resellers.

So my question is: does anyone know of an Authorize.Net reseller that resells the services "unbundled" (i.e. without a merchant account also through them), and at a decent price?

E-Commerce Exchange (ecx.com) should be able to do what you're looking for, I used the Authorize.Net gateway through them once and had my merchant account through a bank unrelated to ECX.

What do you consider a decent price? I know of another company as well that offers just the gateway
