Why? Lot's of companies make versions of this part, and most of them
are cheaper. Siliconix and National are the two biggest players in this
market, and probably have the cheapest prices. Harris is also a pretty
big switch maker.

While I have infinite respect for Analog Devices, I think their prices
are much too high for these jelly-bean sorts of parts. Especially for
the hobbist.

Disclaimer: I used to work for National designing analog switches. However,
until my parts come to market, I don't care who's you buy. I no longer
have any affliation with National Semiconductor, except to occasionally
ask what the heck is holding up these parts...
