I ordered a bunch of boards from Bay Circuits, as you say, it was really easy. However, for the small boards I typically use, I'd have 30-40 boards for a prototype, and I'd pay, I believe, a minimum of $36 for them. For a 1" x 1" board, I get three from OSHPark for $5 shipped, and I can have them with .031" board stock and 2oz copper. Since most of the stuff I'm making I want to be as small as possible, every little bit helps. Also, the 2oz copper allows me to use thinner traces for the same current carrying capacity.
