Vex is out of stock of the heavy duty master link. Where can we purchase a master link that will work with the vex chain?

Hmmm this is very concerning. I haven't used 25 chain before sadly with this year being my first. I've been so used to ordering 35 chain from AndyMark or Vex and getting masterlinks from either AM or McMaster so I went about 25 the same way with 25 chain from Vex and master links from McMaster (because they were out of stock at Vex). I'm only now noticing the disclaimer that only the master links below (which are conveniently out of stock) work with Vex chain.
We were hoping to do assembly this Friday and over the weekend so would that mean my next best bet is to order chain from McMaster? I need close to 120ft so $5 per foot is robbery compared to $1 per foot from Vex.
Any concerns about using Vex sprockets with other sourced chains?
Insert panic.
