Question about LT4 spring part numbers??!??

I had one of my Thunder Racing valve springs break on me and was going to
replace it (them) with the LT4 valve springs. (I have the LT4 hotcam kit
other than the springs) However, I find two part numbers and am REALLY
confused! The part number I have for the LT4 spring is 12551483 (
http://www.paceparts.com/product.asp?3=998 ) and costs $6.79 each. (so 16
would be $108.64) However, part number 12495494
(http://www.paceparts.com/product.asp?3=905) shows all 16 as a valve spring
kit and only costs $37.19 for the whole kit!??!??! I thought maybe it was
just paceparts site that was off on the pricing, but it seems other websites
have similar pricing. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!

It costs a lot more per-part to get just one than it does to get 16 of them.
The springs are the same.

Seems odd but it really isn't. This is pretty common.
