I'd get an quote from AS that includes shipping, and then one from Wicks 
where you pick it up, and you'll either find it cheaper, or Wicks would 
match it.  There's a lot to be said for supporting some competition to the 
biggest player in the industry, especially if it's local...

KR> Wicks spruce kit

I had a similar issue as I am also starting a new build. I believe the
wicks kit quote included the mahogany plywood. aircraft spruce is just
spruce. Look for those details.

Ask each supplier for a detailed breakdown list of what is in their 
wood kit and compare the two list.  They should list each piece of 
wood in the kit.
