Default who cuts patriot cams?

im finally looking into a cam. im outa stuff to do except for maybe true duel 3" exhaust.

i want a 226/226 112 on xer lobes. here is the one that TSP advertises their 226r am for $380

patriot lists this cam for $280....100 bux cheaper but i want the XER lobes for sure:
226/226 Dur. @.050 .585"/.585" Lift 112 LSA

most vendors use comp to grind their cams.
all they really do is put their name on it and call it something special.

thats what im hoping for. tsp sells it priced better than comp, but patriot is 100 bux cheaper than tsp! they cant be making that much profit off of cams right?
