I just compared to basista for three identical, 100x100 mm double layer 
boards. If all parameters are the same, the prices match to within an euro. 
But you can get a 15% better price at leiton by waiting longer - 15 working 
days rather than 8 working days. 

With small series, it depends on what you need. Leiton wins for long lead 
time (12 to 25 working days) and larger amounts (minimum 0.4 m^2). Basista 
offers small series prices at a minimum of 0.2 m^2 and rather short lead 
time (2 to 8 working days). For the same amount of pcbs basista is at 8 days 
about 15% more expensive than leiton at 25 days. But basista offers 25% 
reduction for a follow-up and starts at half the minimum amount.

Prices are quite similar. They both send gummi bears, too. Pcb fabbing is 
surely a competitive market. To me, the shorter lead time is a win. More 
often than not, projects need to be ready yesterday.
