Based on SLR Rev's and an earlier TK Foto pricing, it looks like the MSC pricing is right (as SLR has always been slightly below the rest of shop, but not THAT low).
Are you sure you were asking for the micro four third version and not the four third version? I just happened to be there and saw the m43 logo on the lens and pointed it out and was quoted the price. Olympus has a 9-18mm for the four third (wonder why they release same focal length different products nowadays - so confusing).
