wide tire clearance caliper brakes

I see some folks have converted to 650 for bigger tires. Well, I'm looking to keep my 700c wheels but want to run 32mm tires...and my frame and fork has the clearance...so what brake caliper will work for me? I'm running DA 9000 calipers now which clears 28c tires, but 32s are too wide. And I've looked at Tektro's website and see lots of long reach calipers, but I can't tell what "short" reach models will be able to clear. Velo-Orange brakes look nice, but their 170 bucks and again, they're designed for long reach or 650b wheels/tires.

So, you guys that are running wide tires on 700c rims, what ya using?
