Oh absolutely although I don't hink it is as simple as company X is cheaper than company Y. I have a pool of about half a dozen suppliers I use and I shop around each time because one company will be cheaper for one thing whereas another will be cheaper for something else.
I've found Bromsgrove MG very cheap for some of the 'regular' things such as fuel pumps and brake drums, especially if you are happy to have 'pattern'.

Well, I haven't ordered any parts for the Midget for some time, the last time
was about 12 years ago.
And yes, I think you're right - they've become too big, and have lost that
'personal' touch you get from smaller companies.
Their strength is undoubtably the fact that they do comprehensive parts
catalogues and keep a lot of parts in stock.
They've virtually become a 'pile-it-high-sell-it-cheap' company.
But you always have that choice, you can pay higher prices and get a more
personal service or get cheaper prices and little/no service.
Choice is yours really.
