I called Alegro directly and they recommended a distributor that did not have a minimum (or it was low enough it didn't matter). I bought an additional 6 pieces to have as spares just in case I burn out one of them. Seems like I paid around $6 - $8 each for them. I can't remember exactly, but for only 6 pieces it was not bad. You may want to call Alegro and ask for a distributor that carries their parts.
I agree with you about having a schematic. You never know when you may want to just check out what's going on in the circuit. If you have an unusual problem, it sometimes helps.
