I really do not know where you got your load carrying information to select your wood. I also can not picture your particular plans in my head from the information you have given us. So I basically took your first post as a get it off my chest complaint about wood prices.
But lets look at a few things you have said.
You are looking for 2x12x16 to use as a header. Then you said the post will be 8 feet apart. So let me say you can buy 2x12x8 for 1/3 of 16 foot pieces. So now we are talking $20 to cover 16 feet rather than $30.
I have never heard of stacking one 2x12 on top of another. You put them side by side up to 3 thick. If 3 will not carry the load you go to a bigger size lumber. So if you need four 2x12 to carry the load you would move to laminated beams.
What are you trying to carry with these beams. Just the roof or a second floor. Four 2x12 just seams like a lot of support for a 8 foot span.
