Will electrolytics work as well for power supply bypassing? Tantalums don't
have any special characteristics that other types of capacitors don't have?

By the way - how does a Digi-Key 399-3178-1-ND look? It's a 10V 33uf Kemet
T520 Series KO-CAP Polymer Tantalum, data*** here:

It's a B package - just slightly bigger than a 1206, so I shouldn't have
much trouble fitting it on my board. Not to spendy at a little over $1 in
single quantities.
