Canon 24-105L - $1095 Is this the best price for new?

[BigBlueDodge]

As they always say, the grass is greener on the other side. I just sold my 24-70L and am trying to decide between the 24-105L and 35L. I'm leaning towards the 24-105L, largely for the flexibility of the zoom. I always have the 50 1.4 in case I need low light performance. Doing my research I see that Badger Graphics appears to have the lowest price at $1095, almost $150 cheaper than anyone else. I know many on here have ordered from the before and had a good experience with them, so I'm sure they are a legit business. Before I hit the order button, I'm curious if anyone has seen the lens for any cheaper elsewhere?

Oh, and yes I did consider the new 17-55 f/2.8 coming out. However, it won't start hitting the shelf's until end of May, and I don't want to wait that long.

I also bought mine from Badger, but had to wait for a week since they were out of stock. Although I found couple of places for less, but I wouldn't trust them.

Badger has a good price, but they're out of stock, and I've heard stories of people waiting quite a while to receive their order. So I just bought the lens at the FredMiranda.com Buy & Sell forum.
