I don't understand "$8.85 vs. a b/s value of $6.87"?

Black-Sholes valuation is very sensitive to the Implied Volatility used.

What IV value are you assuming for KLAC? (It appears to be 29%)

Using a risk free interest rate of 2% and calculating Implied Volatility with KLAC at 58.99:

Mar 04 60 Strike average of B/A = $3.65 IV = 36%
Jan 06 70 Strike average of B/A = $8.90 IV = 35%

Nothing appears inconsistent.
