Yeah, having fewer products makes their catalog easier to wade 
through, and they have a lot of esoteric stuff that the big guys 
don't have, or charge too much for.

DigiKey and Mouser seem to be in some sort of catalog arms race, each 
trying to make a heavier catalog than the other.

Speaking of that... McMaster Carr. I still have my ten or so year old 
catalog from them. I've never been able to get them to send me 
another, I guess I don't buy enough. But they also have a fantastic 
website, very easy to find stuff. And their warehouse must have a 
conveyer belt right into the UPS/FedEx hub, because I'll place an 
order at 4 PM and the box is on my doorstep the next day.
