Mouser and Digi-Key Capacitor Search Help

Not totally off-topic, Mouser seems to be the better place to get caps. I've found odd values there that Digi-Key doesn't stock, such as 15 and .22 mfd.

Yeah, but if you want Rubycon or the very interesting EDLC units from Nippon-ChemiCon you're buying them from Digi-Key.

(My Mouser to Digi-Key ratio is probably 10:1 in terms of parcels shipped, not in terms of $ spent.)

What special about those? Don't mind me, just trying to get educated about this.

The most special thing about EDLC from NCC is that you can actually buy a 2,400F capacitor. (Yes, 2.4 KiloFarads.) Less than 100 miliohms ESR too. Stand back!

Rubycon isn't anything "special" but they do make a very good product for a very nice price.
