be carefull dealing with donberg.ie
i´ve paid them 200 euro on a "pro forma invoice" in advance for some "ghost chips" (50x BA662A) - after a week or two they said that the item unfortunally was not available. i went for 1583F and sk30aY instead - guess what ? after about nearly 10 weeks and ap. 8 phone calls (i called them, of cause) i decided to cancel the deal last week - same story: problems here, problems there, another middle man, companys not sending.... you think i should now have my money back they wanted so pronto in advance ? nada ! (grrr....)
ok. i´ll give them a few days till end of the week and if monday nothing happened i will forward this...
i do not say: make no deals with them - just be a bit carefull, esp. when the deal is about rare parts ! i highly recommend "senso", a very kind man in the netherlands specialized in dealing with delicate and selden parts...

Nikko seems to have them:

Not sure what a good price is but I will definetley vouch for Nikko. Very nice to deal with.
Donberg/1 source/etc are BANNED. Their prices are ridculous and they always want a minimum order of a ton of parts. With no gurantee of actually getting them.
For example: (my ill experience was with 1 source)
2sk30a-O: 1source price - 5.45 ea. 200 pc min, what I paid somwhere else: .89, no min
2SA733P: 1 source price - 4.40 ea. 50 min, what I paid: 0.08(!) ea, no min
So they gouge prices BADLY, watch out!

@nikko
in april a had a request on 2sk30aO
minimum order was 100, the "style" of answering was a bit strange
and one content to cancel was:
**********> no,sorry ,only Mastercard/Visa
price for 1583 seems to be mid range / ok
the one about the O-type 5.45 ??? horror !!
btw. now i have around 100 in stock ... *g
[but not for .89 unfortunally]
