Default Need a saison yeast substitute

Like the title says, Im looking for a good substitute for Wyeast 3711. This is what I really want but my LHBS doesn't carry Wyeast. And I'm hoping that Whitelabs makes an equivalent that will do the same job and give me the same spicy character.

I'm looking at Whitelab 410. Any ideas?

You could always try to bottle harvest.

I just brewed using the 3711... If I was unable to track it down I was planning on using White Labs 566 (Belgian Saison II)

There is also 565 Belgian Saison I and 568 Saison Blend.

Brasserie Thiriez = wyeast 3711
