I'm with you; before I dropped a grand on a nozzle I'd make a trip to the hardware store and try some less elegant alternatives (of course, that's just a cheapskate plumber's son talking).

What kind of a setup do you have on the well? If it pumps into a pressure tank with a pressure switch controlling the pump you should be able to drop the flow into the pond down as small as you want. If there are no controls and the pump runs straight into the 2" line, you will probably have to branch your 2" line into several smaller lines, each hooked up to some sort of sprinkler/nozzle, to keep the flow rate up and avoid possible pump damage.
