The 6163Pro is no longer in production. The BX Master goes for around
4800. You might want to look at the ASUS 694X-based board. It costs about
the same as a BX Master.
The VIA 694X chipset (Apollo Pro 133A) is pretty neat because you can do
tricks like run the FSB at 133MHz and the memory at 100MHz, and it has a
/2 AGP multiplier.
The only disadvantage to these 694X-based chipsets is their RAM latency.
The 440BX is still champion here -- it even beats the i820.
