Have you tried Dekopon before?(I find them to be very sweet and overly rich, almost slight mango flavor, but makes a great snack food for a paper bag lunch, kind of like an orange that is easier to peel. Personally I still prefer Shasta Gold though)
Mark in Texas can tell you about the citrus bureau there. They get it from CCPP and both CCPP and they tack on a nice surcharge. $150 budwood.Someone contacted CCPP recently and told me they will have it again in June.
Where did you find the budwood for your Shasta Gold?I have been reading about it and based on descriptions you have posted on TFF and others comments on other forums it sounds like one that I want to try.UCR has it in their collection: https://citrusvariety.ucr.edu/citrus/tde2.htmlHowever, the don't offer it on the CCPP budwood order page. If I search the page for 'Shasta' or 'tde2' or '490' (the UCR VI for Shasta Gold is 490) it is not listed as something I can order budwood from.I have seen a few nurseries online that sell the trees, but they don't ship to AZ.

I think this is the old form: https://ccpp.ucr.edu/budwood/forms/2013-Forms/ScreenhouseFaxOrderForm.pdfIf you look at the (*) it appears you need a license agreement for the TDE budwood. I don't know how that works but perhaps shoot them an email.
I tried and was said no to Shasta, Yosemite, and Tahoe gold varieties. only bet is to buy trees
