[sdiy] US online retailer advice please

[Justin Owen]

Hello,

Has anyone dealt with any of these 3 stores?

http://www.assemblyoutfitters.com/
http://www.howardelectronics.com/
http://www.engineeringlab.com/

I've kind of snookered myself. I picked up an absolute bargain on a great Xytronic soldering station - but I can't buy the tips for it anywhere outside of the US. Ugh - I've used a couple of Xytronic irons before - very happy with them but never had a prob sourcing tips.

Thanks for any input.
