On the other hand, if you don't need the cheese or

McMaster has T15 6-32x1/4" pan head screws for 6.22 per 100, which
doesn't seem like a terrible price to me. Aside from some visual
finish, what's the advantage of a button/cheese head?
McMaster-Carr is still a little on the high side for these. A wholesale
screw supplier should probably be charging ~$4.00-4.50 for these at qty
100, and less for qty 500 and above. McMaster-Carr has the convenience
factor working for them though, and I've ordered tons of stuff from them
in the past just because they had it available whereas one of my
wholesalers would have to bring it in.
