Anyone use these for small/prototype quantities?

I agree... but Max asked for small/prototype quantities. And lead time would be another issue.Rather expensive when compared to the China board houses.
China is a very big place... would you mind sharing which specific supplier you're referring to?I count 5 or 10 as "small".
Lead time falls under the "good/cheap/fast" rule: you can't have all three:
cheap & fast: wouldn't be good
good & fast: wouldn't be cheap
good & cheap: wouldn't be fast
China boards turn in about a week, or less if you pay for it.
I've received custom boards in 3 or maybe 4 weeks using the default/free slow boat from China shipping. You can always pay more to get them faster.
A quantity 5 units of a 5x5cm board is around $35 free ship from China. PCP Uni wants between $211 or $411 (plus shipping?) depending on how long you want to wait.
I got a few days to wait for 1/10th the cost.
