The problem with this is that MSC has a $50 minimum order, which a few
feet of plastic tubing won't meet (don't know how strict they are about
that, though).  The beauty of McMaster is no minimums.  I use both
frequently, sometimes depending upon who has the little part I need,
sometimes just because I like the McMaster web site (I prefer it to the
MSC site, but they're both excellent).  Also, I have found that McMaster
does have more stuff than MSC, especially in odd little fasteners and
unusual bits.
