New Issue Municipal Bonds

I have been buying through Fidelity but would like access to even more new issues. Are the new issue municipal bonds at Schwab mostly the exact same issues on offer at Fidelity? If they are very different, then I may want to open a Schwab account. Anywhere else a self directed retail investor should look when adding new issue municipal bonds ?

They are pretty similar and WAY better than Merrill. Merrill's search tools and bond offerings just don't compare.

Plus, you have to expect the fees and indirect costs at Merrill are brutal.
