Ahh. I think Roman had an issue with the 'R's related to starting or something like that.
Not 100% sure but something like that I know he went from 'R' CPs to the Hitachi 'E's then back to 'R's.

My dealer charges ~$56 (tax included) for CP's
I guess that was their padding. Speaking of padding: I went to another dealer last week to get some belly pan screws. The parts attendant told me they were $4.60 each. My response was "Holy crap," so he immediately said "I can sell them to you for $3.00 each." So I said I'd take 3 of them. I still think it's a ripoff, but wasn't going to argue since all efforts to find any at AZ, Prep Boys, or the like had failed. He might not have been so gracious at a later date either. Of course even $4.60 per screw isn't going to break me, it's just the principle of the matter.

Thank you all for the great, concise answers!
I'm going to raise a few other issues that have been taking place with the car, so I might as well try and group it all under the one deductible. I do think that I may pick up a spare coil pack or two, however...
Sadly, I think this is going to be our last Audi. Have enjoyed a few of them over the past few years, but I'm getting to the point where I want something a little less maintenance.
