Hi David, But only if you are interested in higher quantities -- I guess I was not clear in explaining the angle where I was coming from in my original post: I use both distributors and definitely know their plusses and minuses from my personal experiences. What I was trying to convey was that it is the lowest *single-quantity* price I personally have seen on a PIC18F452 from a distributor. I did not intend any more to be read into things than that. (That's why I posted only the single quantity price). I realize that when you look at high quantities, that's a completely different story, but I was simply comparing onesie-twosie prices, which is a completely valid thing to do if someone is interested in very low quantities.
