Homogeneous stellar models in the mass range 1-120 M_☉ have been constructed for two Population I chemical compositions by employing (a) the Cox-Stewart "hydrogenic" opacities and (b) the new Carson "Thomas-Fermi" opacities. The differences between the models at fixed mass and chemical composition are typically found to be (except at the highest masses) as small as the differences that are caused by the choice of linear interpolation, quadratic interpolation, or a fitted formula in the opacity tables.
