I've used Olimex plenty of times, and for the money, they're very good, but
one thing that really annoys me is that they use the specified hole sizes
for the drill sizes, and after thru-hole plating your holes are smaller than
expected.
Other firms I've dealt with treat the hole size as, oddly enough, the size
of the hole. So I have to remember to change sizes if I get the same board
made at Olimex first, then elsewhere.
Something to watch out for if you are using Olimex...
