Try ABUA-Umpire.org

$45 per year. Comparable in coverage but less top dollar limit.

MidMoUmp has a blog that compares the two.

Sort of an Apples vs Oranges thing as they both have more than just insurance for the money.

EDIT: I went ahead and copied info from MidMoUmp's blogspot. He also compares ASA and NFHS insurance. His final statement on the blog is; "Clear as Mud?"
