Interesting. Apparently these are the guys behind the Elektor service...=20
and the 'proper' Eurocircuits site seems to work MUCH better than the=20
Elektor-butchered version. Most notably there actually *is* a=20
support-ticket link, and the quote-and-order side of things looks a lot=20
more polished...

I don't think I'll be making another order with Elektor (though my=20
current order has just changed status to "in production", so maybe=20
they've realised that I paid and just not marked the invoice as paid=20
yet.. strange)

I'm still tempted to try Gold Phoenix at some point -- $99 for six=20
boards (or $119 with electrical-test which still seems like a good deal)=20
is pretty damn good value. My board can be made to meet their 7/7 design=20
rules with minimal changes (basically move a few components and vias=20
around to improve clearance), so this seems like a good option for the=20
production run (if all goes to plan).

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Plenty of food for thought here.
