Yeah, you might pay (a little) more through the AC website or through a TA, but you'll look like a hero when IRROPS hits. And it will hit, one day.
I've used Orbitz a couple times when I've saved $300+ per ticket. No IRROPs happened, but if they do, and I get treated worse for it (no evidence of that, because I haven't gotten a hotel room in IRROPs with direct booking), then I'm still ahead.
