Like B said, it's relatively easy to find drill chucks with MT3 tapers integrated or attached. Me, I buy the chucks without the tapers, and attach them myself. Not hard, and still easy to get. They're just a bit bulkier.

I've actually had some really nice results from a couple $7 unbranded 1/2" chucks from Wholesale Tools, but I would hardly expect that to be the rule.
