One caveat - get the Chinese producer to make a prototype run and see if
they can hold to specs. Company I'm with recently got a bunch of small
parts made in India and they came covered with burrs and with slightly
undersized holes (don't know how they did that, it's a standard metric
size). The rework has long since eaten up the initial price differential.
