Dan,

Both Atmel and Philips do have good (and cheap) parts. I've often struggled to find a supplier who doesn't charge 'over the top' for 1off or small orders.

One outfit who have a small range of Atmel, Philips and very cheap Winbond parts at fair prices are www.futurlec.com (I'm not connected to them in any way - I'm just a satisfied customer).

They have always shipped my orders promptly.

Regards,
Derek.
