Hi Speedpainter,
I assume you are after metals compatible with 1/72 scale figures. In that case Stone Mountain is not a choice. They only do 15mm. If you are looking for cheap metals then look at RSM. For metals they are good value. Ask for the individual figure price list. I like the C1-022 figure advancing with the rifle slung over the right shoulder. I have a couple that I've added to, to get greatcoats (good for Fredericksburg). Kennington also do figures in greatcoats.
The following list is all the 20mm/1-72 scale metals that have been produced. (from what I've researched anyway)
Musket Miniatures (US: Artillery too small. not a fan of these figures)
http://www.musketminiatures.com/
Art Miniaturen (German: Lee on horse)
CP-Models (UK: had a master or two but have not gone into production)
Debbeler (German - no longer in production)
Fine Scale Factory (do some artillery pieces - expensive)
Hinton Hunt (US: out of production)
Irregular (UK: are a little small but the odd one or two mixed in are OK)
http://www.irregularminiatures.co.uk
IT Figures (UK: out of production)
Jacklex (UK: sold through Spencer Smith, Artillery is accurate for this scale)

Kennington (UK: Sold through SHQ. On the bulkier side. Match ok with Italeri, reasonable price)
http://www.shqminiatures.co.uk/Ranges/20mmACW/20mmACWmain.php?UID=20080331083124124.169.61.57
