The latest versions of Xcode have forever, since before the dawn of the MAS been on the developer site either as direct downloads (mostly betas, GMs and full releases for a few days after release) or by following any of the links on those pages to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode and downloading.
I usually download from there too since I can do one download and install on my two machines, but I noticed the build number is different between that download and the MAS download. Whether there is an actual difference other than the build number, I don’t know but the MAS version has a higher build # so I went with it this time.
