I agree that digi-key and others aren't indicators, but we have the same situation and we do not use DK etc. Even if we order a serious quantity in a local market we can't get the prices we had 1 year ago (we had atmega16 for ~1,4$). More of that we must pre-order atmel production. Our local parts providers warned us about the same situation with other manufacturers, for example nxp.
