Sure is 'close' if you don't mind comparing dissimilar situations.
Looking at discounted vs non discounted pricing is not a valid argument.
You can make the assumption that the hobby shop stocked both products
and offered the same discount, then you can have a valid comparison of
$3.65 to $5.58... or 52% more expensive to go with the brass versions. A
little over half way to double.
But go with whatever makes ya happy!
Take care
