The DUE is cheaper than the MEGA on sparks fun and the Farnell site says the MEGA2560 is no longer in production. Is this true is it on it's way out or is this just a mistake?. I use the MEGA a lot so it would be good to know.
I just looked everywhere (including Farnell/E14 and the Atmel site) and can see no mention of an EoL status.
Have you got a link?

Ahh yes , panicked a bit this morning i only looked at this page
http://uk.farnell.com/arduino?isRedirect=true
were it has no mention of the R3. It was the fact that it cost more than a due as well at sparks fun that got me as well.
Cheers
If you can take waiting a bit then maybe get one of (link to company selling counterfeit boards removed). I have a couple of them and they work great.
maybe get one of these
One thing about Arduino I think is that it's got so much momentum now that you won't be orphaned, even if official support drops for a model there will be clones around for many years.
