Yes, that's certainly true. In my experience, the other vendors in this case are Big Widget Co/Big Widget Distributors Co's - like DigiKey, Farnell, Mouser. M

Yes, that's certainly true. In my experience, the other vendors in this case are Big Widget Co/Big Widget Distributors Co's - like DigiKey, Farnell, Mouser. Most of what's on Sparkfun, is cheaper there - than in my local retail shops. Then again, I am being a bit silly - since I'll have to pay import tax, VAT and such if ordering from Sparkfun.
