$21k in single quantity, 35 week lead time (from Avnet).. That's not 
extreme for this kind of part.


The "engineering prototype part" (generally same die, just doesn't get 
the screening and paperwork) is only $3.5k in Q1.  (you can also get an 
Eval board with the part for the same price)

I wonder if the same part, without the space processing, is available?
