If you have that artistic push, I'd say make your own silicone tail. It's not cheap but it's cheaper than buying a high-end silicone tail. That's what I ended up doing since I didn't have enough sand dollars to buy a silicone tail, I made one myself! It was a long process but lots of fun :)

Making one would be neat. Something that makes your tail extra special to you. If you can do it, go for it. There are so many online resources

As I have some special needs to my tail I made mine. It's made out of dragonskin silicone and is very light as I made my scales very thin. I also use lycra instead of powermess as the scales were very see-through because they are so thin. you can find pics om e making it here: https://mermaid-fenicia.blogspot.com/2017/01/making-of-my-silicone-mermaid-tail.html

As someone who makes her own fabric tails, and own a couple of Fin Fun, Sun Tail and Magictail skins, I can say for sure, make your own silicone tail. Its strange but I find I have more fun in a homemade tail than a pre-made one. I think it is because no one else has one exactly like it. It is original and unique!
