Electronic components distributors

They all suck, each in their own little way. In no particular order:

DistributorProCon
Yebo ElectronicsBrowseable store within walking distanceNo filters. Possibly expensive. Limited range.
RS ComponentsWide range, has parametric filtersSame filters are painful to use. Expensive.
CommunicaUnknownDisorganized search, no filters, never have things I want.
Hi-Q ElectronicsUnknownNo search. No component info.
Mantech ElectronicsDecent pricesNo filters
Electrocomp Expressgood rangePoor search, somewhat expensive
Octopart(Mostly) excellent searching, wide rangeNot a distributor, definitely not in Cape Town

I actively invite these or other Cape Town-based distributors to promote or defend their usefulness. Send me some mail, guys. I'll edit this comparison table as necessary.
