I don't know about the matching method, but rfparts list price is $50 vs 
$54 for Richardson for single devices. I have a Richardson trade 
account, but I'm told they do not encourage personal buyers. For one 
pair, rfparts seemed quick and easy, and I've had good service in the 
past - not everyone handles export customers so easily.

On the topic of matching, if the transistors have individual bias 
controls, then lot number matching should be more than enough for any 
normal amplifier application.
