By far and away, the best translations are those done by the Islamic Texts Society, the link you posted the currency is in British Pounds so this may work for you:

http://www.its.org.uk/alghazali.html

The translations are so good, especially the ones by Shaykh Abdul Hakeem Murad that I find myself reaching for a dictionary quite regularly.

These are the only translations of the Ihya I am willing to purchase. However not all 40 books have been translated, but I found that reading the ihya is not an easy thing to do, as they are heavy books. So I found my reading pace and publishing pace of this series to be not too far apart.

But Fons Vitae, their books are of similar quality, and they are soon releasing the entire Ihya in 4 volumes, soon sometimes means a long time though in the publishing world...
