News from Farnell

Hi DIYers!
I just got a new catalog supplement from Farnell. It has 6000 new products and I found a couple of interesting things in there:
Polystyrene capacitors with 1% tolerance and 110 +- 60 ppm/C tempco. The prices are very reasonable: around $0.60 for 47 to 8200 pF.
Potentiometers with conductive plastic from Spectrol. These are about the same price and size (=small) as the popular Alps pots. They have a flatted 6 mm shaft and cost a little over $2. Any ideas if conductive plastic is supposed to be better than Alps carbon ones?
