No, not particularly.

If you aren't hung-up on name brands, I would recommend mail ordering
from MEI/Micro Center (1-800-634-3478, US only I suppose).  They'll
sell no less than 2, price for 2 to 4 is $19.87 each;  price for 5+
is $18.87 each.  They'll also add in an additional $3.25 order processing
fee, and shipping of $0.40 per cartridge ordered.  That's for their
nameless brand, though they do come in the usual plastic case and with
adhesive labels.  If you order 3M tapes from them, the price is $25.49
each for 2 to 4, or $24.48 each for 5+.  Verbatim are $23.49 and $22.49,
respectively.  All prices given are for 6250 cartridges.

No connection.  Just a satisfied customer.
