No, I checked out their price just now and total cost was about the same.
Purchased mine from Newark/Farnell so I think they will get it to me faster. 
It would have been placed on back order for 3 months according to the web

been doing other stuff like building an electic bicycle for my 3 year old 
grandson. I should do some more work on it right now.
