sourcing question

Where do you guys get the yellow box caps? I'm assuming they're similar to the topmay 5mm poly caps I can get at Smallbear, but I'm unfamiliar with ordering parts from anywhere other than Smallbear and PPP.

They have been discontinued 
There are/ were AVX box caps

Some places may have them but they aren't being made anymore by AVX

Are they similar to the Kemet caps from mouser? (http://ca.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Kemet/MMK5222K63J01L4BULK/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvOcEq4GH1AAlEnXbJRHweNrt0yhMgOzyU%3d)

Is there advantage of the topmays over regular panasonic caps? or the Kemet ones I posted above? or the discontinued ones John mentioned? I've mostly used the red or green Panasonic caps in my self-sourced builds, so I'm unfamiliar overall with box caps.

Looking at the prices on Smallbear there isn't a really big difference in price overall in getting the box caps, but it adds up when you buy a few of each value. I like the box caps that came with my BYOC kits, easy to use and they look great. I'm just wondering if it's just 'mojo' or if it really does make a difference to use box caps. Plus, if there's nothing wrong with the Topmay ones over the others, if the do provide an advantage over the regular panasonics, I'll use them in some upcoming builds. It seems like the PCB's I'm getting lately are better suited to having Box caps used.
