Are you sure about that? My look at Vishay part
numbers in the Mouser catalog shows these to be 13 cents
each in quantity of 1 (as well as the massive quantity you
quote).

They seem to be 1% parts, so (to my eye) all those extra bands
will look "funny" so I'm definitely not interested so you may want
to just ignore me!

Mouser does sell generic (Xicon) 1W, 2W, and 3W metal film
resistors that work fine too, and they're 5% so they don't look
so funny.

Tim.
