What is your data source? Does the exchange rate vary a lot across the sources?

Currently I am using http://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/exchange/eurofxref/html/index...
And there is some degree of variation between different sources, for example this is the NOKSEK exchange rate from yahoo.
http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from...
And since the variations between sources is limited I believe that getting a rough idea of the rate (which differs from bank to bank as well) Is beneficial especially in currencies like NOKSEK where the difference can vary between 0-10%
