good deal on 2000ml erlenmeyer flask

I recently spent quite a bit of time trying to find a decent price on a 2L flask so thought I'd pass this along. I ordered it last night and got notified that it shipped this am.

Have you used it yet? If so, did you boil in the flask? I'm debating this one and this one that's more expensive (plus shipping).

Yeah I boiled the wort in the flask, let it cool for about 5 minutes, put it in cool water in the sink then started adding ice - no problems. Definitely not worth spending almost twice the amount for the name Pyrex.
