live rock purchase over the Internet?

I just ordered the 44lbs box of the "pre-cure" fiji from Marine depot
and I am happy with it. There is still some life on it even toguh I'm
not sure how much will survive the curing process. But there is
purple, green and orange coraline on all the pieces. The shipment was
well packed with nice large pieces and very very little rubble in the
bottom of the box.
With shipping to Minnesota it worked out to about $4.50 a pound whcih
is a lot better than the $9-$10 range I see at the LFS for rock with
no life on it what so ever.

Was curious if anyone buys live rock over the Internet ... Found 2 sites I
was considering using:

Fiji Live Rock - 46lbs for $100
http://www.petsolutions.com/cgi-bin/...30.000000&l=73

Fiji Live Rock - 44lbs for $149.95
http://www.marinedepotlive.com/lr.html

I don't understand the price difference, but my plan was to combine this
with selected live rock specimans from local stores ... I've read about
curing, and plan to treat this as uncured regardless of what the website
says.

Good plan or bad? As always, any advice/comments/suggestions would be
appreciated!

Thanks!
