The ATCC looks expensive until you realize that through them you are probably actually getting the specific strain you want, with a minimum of evolutionary distance between when it was deposited and when it was passed on to you. If the specific properties of the strain do not matter or if you find a collaborator close to the source then I would skip it, but otherwise it can save a lot of frustration and wasted time.
