Your favorite Kodak E100 now is sold in 400ft bulk roll for ~$160. About $8 per 135 36-exp if you bulk load DIY.

?? B&H lists the 35mm 400' can at $650 and not available online.

At $160 it would be a no-brainer - but at 4X that much? Buying a 36-shot roll at $22 seems cheap in comparison.

I don't understand how you get that. But if you think $22 per roll is cheap, I have no problem.

Well in your original post you worked out that cutting a 400' bulk roll that cost $160 into 36-exposure rolls would work out at $8 per roll. However cutting that same bulk roll at what looks like its actual price of $650 (ie roughly 4X $160) would price those 36-shot rolls at 4 X $8 which equals $32. So, yeah, while not cheap, which by the way I never said, $22 would be cheap by comparison, as $22 is by my calculation cheaper than $32.

If I am missing something here, please let me know.

Ah, that part of words are supposed to be deleted.  It is $650/400ft, and about $8/36-exp.

Oh, Ok - then it reverts back to almost being a no-brainer! Thanks for clarifying that.

Only slight problem being getting to New York to pick up in-store from Melbourne, Australia.

It says no order online, need to call them. Maybe they will ship to  you.

I just checked the current UK pricing, and E100 generally goes for £25-30 for 135-36, though a major retailer is now selling it for £39 ($50 USD)! But one small company is offering 100D respooled as 135-36 for just £14 a roll. The official Ektachrome pricing really does look like price gouging by Alaris, which I can't imagine will improve now that it is run by a bunch of vulture capitalists.

I would just buy the 400ft bulk roll and roll it myself.
