PC, yes I ordered mine directly from the factory. I did find it $10 cheaper from another source, but for $10, I thought it might be better just to deal without a middleman. I did look on eBay, but found none significantly cheaper. They were mostly $159 and other than free shipping, that's the same price as the factory price ($160). I sure hope I didn't steer you wrong, PC. I truly DO love mine and am very satisfied with it.
