Just make sure that you have a shop that will program it for you.
I did exactly this. Bought the fob and key blank from Suncoast.
Had to pay locksmith $50 to cut the blank (something about the steel).
Then had the local indy Porsche shop tell me to get lost and flat out calling me a liar saying that he had been doing this for 20 years and that it was not possible to buy the fob from Porsche without going through the actual physical dealership and that I had a knockoff rom ebay.

Then had to pay the local dealership $275 plus tax to program it.
Their price for a new key through them is $700.

So personally I would jump at $400 and be happy about it.
