An affordable and easily obtainable (Reichelt) alternative was found in the Alps RK11K and RK14K series. They are available in linear and logarithmic scale, as well as single (mono) and dual (stereo) units and have a nice feeling. +(Update: The Alps RK09 series needs quite less space in the stereo version, so no perfect solution was found, yet.) Another potentiometer from Omeg was tried, but it had a "jump" in the resistor value at some knob positions.
