REI, Amazon, Tent Pole Tech were listed, and good sources.
2 others I use often, Quest Outfitters and Ebay
To trim poles to length a tubing cutter is handy.

I have purchased new aluminum tent poles on ebay and custom cut them to fit several of my tents and tarps. I have been completely satisfied with the quality and it has allowed me to tailor the collapsed storage length to better fit in my backpack.

Tomcat: "Replaced the original 8.5mm fiberglass poles on my Cabelas Alaskan Guide tent with with 11mm aluminum poles I purchased on ebay and custom cut to length. "
I have used 11mm poles to build several replacement frames including a Eureka CampTrails 4 pole dome very similar to yours. Sturdy for sure! One 11mm (.433), pole will also make a small pile of pole repair splints for 8.5 and 9mm poles.
Ebay and Quest Outfitters are my sources and I keep a bunch of 9mm 24 inch extras on had. along with assorted sleeves, ends, and shock-cord.
