Does anyone have experience with Imola Ceramica Domus Aurea Porcelain Tile?

I've called all around the country, literally, to try to find the best pricing on this tile. In my area it's running about $9+ a sq ft. I called the regional distributor and they can sell the tile to me for $6.47 sq ft.

I'll need 475 sq ft of tile so that's still going to be expensive. I also have to pay for freight ($350).

How does that price compare to what you guys have done? My tile contractor told me the pricing was "just ridiculous."

Opinions?

Also, does anyone have this tile?
