Pricing on lsl studs – GreenBuildingAdvisor

I am planning on building a house with 2×4 studs staggered 24 oc. I’m not entirely sure that this is possible since it is a 2 story home. For that reason I am considering 2×4 lsl studs because it can handle the load. Problem is I can’t seem to find a price for 2×4×104 5/8 lsl studs. I called a reputable lumber yard and they were clueless on lsl studs( basically said why? Just use standard studs) at the moment I am waiting for a call back, but am curious are 2×4 lsl less than 2×6 studs?
