Hit here and here and compare; one often has a better price than the other on specific knives and each will throw a few on sale now and again.
Note: MACs have different series. I recommend the 'original' for lighter, thin knives like parers and the Chef, Superior, Professional or Ultimate for chefs, santokus, veg knives, etc. Also note that like Global and many other Japanese brands, MAC knives are made with a tighter bevel than European knives (which is why I prefer Japanese blades). Keep that in mind when steeling and do not use a sharpener with pre-sets designed for European knives. Use stones, a sharpener specifically for MAC (I think they make one), or a sharpener with rods that can be adjusted to a smaller angle.
I think you'd love a MAC or two.
