I should add that the boards I have been getting from PCBCart are all 
thru-hole components and thus on the large side.  I haven't got anything 
from them with tiny SMD footprints and high density routing.  I was 
considering getting my Digi-Mod boards here, but from what Tony has said 
I guess I'll stick with tried and tested European manufacturers for 
this, as it's a very high density board.

Might also be worth looking at Gold Phoenix - this is who Batch PCB 
use.  Anyone have experience of the quality for high-density layouts 
from here?
