Alternate blower Englander 15-W03

[Ncon]

I've seem people mention the fact that the blower is loud, not great, etc.. and they will replace it with a better model/option.

What are the alternatives than the stock blower that comes with this stove?
Are they worth getting?
Thanks

I have an older Englander stove. the blower looks just like a hair dryer and the noise is about the same. I do not use the blower and just use a quieter box fan blowing toward the stove. With the ceiling fans and the box fan I get very good heat circulation.
It looks like the blower is sold out right now. There is a larger fan available but it is $235.

It's difficult to see how this one replaces the original one due to the shape. I will look for a video or more images.
That is pretty pricey for a blower, I wonder if there are ways to retrofit alternate blowers to the back shield
