Unfortunately they will likely be more expensive...at least they are here...for us they end up to be about twice as much for the "splits"
Good luck!

after much reading on the net I have found that i can use dry pressed clay bricks. because it will not be subject to the same intens heat that a pizza oven is you can use the pressed clays instead of firebricks, this is what all older fireplaces are made from.

ordering a bunch of them tomorrow and then next weekend construction of the fireplace begins

If it does crack or spall, you can always get the cast-iron fireback later.
