Realistically speaking, you'll need to deal with several
distributors. Even carrying different parts numbered in the hundreds
of thousands, no distributor can (practically) carry them all. When
purchasing components for a project, I almost always place orders
with both DigiKey and Mouser, and sometimes one or two other vendors
as well (usually direct from the manufacturer...Analog Devices,
Linear Technology, etc).

Out of
interest, whereabout in the US is good (mail order) for
getting hold of tools / test gear and components? There's only a
Rat Shack in town here, which as everyone knows is utterly useless
for absolutely anything :(
Thanks for all the replies everyone - certainly given me a few
useful places to look at anyway.
Like Zane, I prefer to have real paper catalogues rather than some
electronic version anyway, which is making Digikey sound good...
