Well... if you want to buy 1,000 of them. Not to rain on your parade,
but until you get to that quantity level they're six bucks each, and
you can get them for that price from Digi-Key. Also, I would want to
torture test a few of these buggers to make REALLY sure they behaved
as well as the Analog Devices part before I ponied up for a thousand
pieces. They might be just fine, they might be crappy knock-offs.
Tough to tell these days. They show an interesting line of chips and
this is encouraging, but I'm not especially excited about their low
quantity prices on things like the 2164 and the 13700.
