Philips parts from Pioneer: 0.175 ea. one reel at a time (2500) ($438.50 total)
or 0.164 in 10K.  Or 0.137 in 4000 up from Avnet ($548 for 4K) (but no
stock there).
that's down to $1.78 per board parts cost, before further shopping around,
for a
quantity of only 300 boards (another advantage of using multiple cheap
parts, you
get the 4,000 price on the SRs, but only the 100's price on the bigger chips).
BTW, SSOP packages are offered too.

Boring, available from multiple sources, works like a charm. Yup.
