Overwelhing is an understatement. I would hate to be a buyer for these
houses meeting with manufacturers and trying to find something different to
add to the catalog!!

Having said that, I have used the Kingbright L934 series T-1 units. These
are high efficiency, and look bright enough to burn your eyeballs out when
on solid with a 100 ohm resistor on a PIC I/O pin. If you can find the same
die in a t-1 3/4 package you should be OK.
