These days I don't generally buy from CPC - either for my personal jobs or for the "day job". We have a One Call account at work which means we can either buy from Farnell or CPC. Occasionally the same part comes up from both - which seems a bit daft given they are owned by the same lot ! What I have noticed though is the CPC parts are usually cheaper but take a bit take longer to arrive than the Farnell stock coded bits . Given that time is usually of the essence I invariably go with the Farnell option.
