I have used Classic Industries some and only thing I can say is much of the time I went to LMC cause Classic didn't have what I was looking for. Other than that, both are fine. AS mentioned I try and use those who support the board or local venders or shows. Especially for large parts to avoid shipping.

It is not necessarily a problem with the parts at LMC. I find it common they list a part in stock or ready for drop ship and it is not. The same with Brothers. I find shipping costs are higher with them as well. Why they are both at the bottom of my list. Classic industries at least lets you know part is on backorder. The other two do not. Summit is also very good with letting you know the status of your order.
