Yup! Me too.

I have Prime too but have learned to always compare, and for Auto Parts these are the two I always compare. Often RA comes in a tiny bit cheaper but Prime includes 2-day shipping.
Also Amazon is infamous for their pricing mistakes. This goes both ways. Sometimes they have outrageous bargains. Other times crazy-high prices, especially when down to the last 1 or 2 in stock.
Always compare. I can live with myself if I find I didn't get the absolute lowest price. I could really kick myself, though, if I find I paid 100% extra.
As for the original topic... I have a carbon activated ATP in the Pilot from Rock Auto, it fit as well as the Honda part or better, and seems to do a good job. We still get plenty of air. It was the cheapest carbon filter I could find.
The Honda filter was previously changed every 30K and was really filthy and full of leaf and seed debris. I'd say if you park anywhere near a tree, replace or at least check your air filter more often than the factory service interval.
