One thing that bugs me about advanced circuits, is that they keep offering specials/deals, but don't want to honor them. For example, I have a coupon for a free set of proto PCB's, which I got from one of their reps, but when I tried to use it, they seemed not be be aware of it, then said that it was expired, and seemed like they just made up a date of "end of last month". There was/is no expiry date printed on it. From the experiences posted on this list, quality is supposedly great, but they seem "gimmicky" to me.
Cheers,
-Neil.
