I recently bought two blank uncut keys with remotes on E-bay for my 2003 Lexus ES300 from remotez4less on E-bay for a best offer amount of $64.00 each, e.g., $128.00 + $10.35 combined shipping and handling. They also can supply you with programming instructions as well and you may, in fact, be able to program the keys without having the dealer re-program the key for you as I read into their instructions. In any event, the Lexus dealer in Camp Hill, PA. cut the blank keys for me for $10.00 each. They also said they could program these for me if needed for $30.00 total. All together, this is still probably less than the Lexus dealer would charge for 1 key. The keys I bought after being cut do open the driver's door and turn over the ignition but they won't be able to start the car until I actually program them with the instructions they included. These instructions while very explicit and detailed do not seem to be too hard to follow. I would highly recommend their key blanks with remotes. They come with the 1616 battery installed in them as well and they were shipped out to me within a day or two. Good luck with your problem.
