Don't forget with Altronics you are paying for availability. Yes, you can pretty much always get it cheaper, but with that list you can walk in off the street now and walk out with the bits in 10 minutes.

Sometimes the convenience of instant procurement and local warranty support is worth the trade off.

Personally I buy my RPI stuff through RS, but when you want it now, you want it "now".
