I stopped in at Bushel Stop across the street from work, to get some pine fines! (!!they finally started carrying it and is the only place I can find it) and they had Bonnie's Professional Potting Mix, $12 for 3.8 cf. Canadian sphagnum peat moss, perlite, Dolomite and wetting agent. ph 5.5 - 6.5. Very comparable. $9 for a bag of mycorhizae, and voila, Pro Mix! at a discount and no travel.

I am hoping for great results.
That's a big time discount. Is the amount of perlite the same? I would love it if you report on your results. The promix 3.8 cf does fluff to about 7cf. Of course it settles later through. Thanks for posting about it.
