I've seen that one. There are a few things to think about before you order.

Does he have the crystal you need? When I contacted him, he didn't have mine. That meant I would need to order a crystal from someone else. I didn't want to pay shipping fees to 2 different places.

Next, what's the shipping cost? Since I order a bunch of stuff from Tower, I'm a member of their super saver club. This means I get free shipping on orders over $150. It's pretty easy to build an order that reaches that threshold. What's his shipping cost?

Do you really want a 600 mah nicad pack? I've got 2 I don't use now. NiMH packs give more capacity for the same weight, or you can get the same capacity for less weight. I might use the nicad packs eventually, but not until all of my nimh packs are in service. The nice thing about selecting the individual parts is you get to choose the components rather than settling for what the manufacturer chose.

What's his return policy? Where do you go for service? Do you get the standard Futaba warranty?

And finally, if you end up ordering from Tower, don't forget the discounts. Last month it was $25 off a $150 order. This month it's $30 off a $199 order. That's a 15% discount.

Note, I'm not saying it's a bad deal, it's actually a decent price. Just be sure to add up all the costs before buying. Every time I've checked prices I found I actually did a little better at Tower. The free shipping was definitely a factor.
