As anyone tried these two particular pcb manufacturers to compare them?

I am interested only in terms of pcb quality. Not quality vs cost, not speed etc. Just that.

I would be glad to hear anyone's opinion that has only used only one of them! If someone has also a foto of a pcb made by any of them showing the quality/detail, it would be marvellous! :)

futurlec are ridiculously SLOW - I have given up on using them. Quality wise they are okay but be prepared to wait for at least 2 months before you see your boards :wink:

Seeed's boards are pretty good. I use them a lot. Takes about 3 weeks to get them.

I'd recommend forgetting Futurelec exists.
