I have only sent out one email to the aforementioned supplier in PDX. Personally don't want to spend more than $160 on filters. From what I have seen they can be had for just under $14 each after shipping; the one link in the oil filter thread was cheap but required $2000.00 for free shipping!! I am not going that far, but it was the best price I've seen.
More people, less cost ,you know the drill. I have also been considering aproaching diesel service stations or fleet mechanics (maybe FI has something to say?) about getting this on one of their shipments.
Ideally there would be small group of people involved that would check there local sources. For the right price I would buy a case of 12 @$170 total, maybe a little more since I would change the filter every other change.

If not.. I am sticking w/ the full flow WIX.
