You should be able to find a better deal than $195 on this card.  We
have been selling them in single quantity for $169 for the last four
months or so.

It -IS- an excellent controller, however....

You may want to renegotiate prices on your 500 quantity contract.  You
appear to be paying a premium price, especially in the quantity you
are buying.
