Thanks! Very good point. I hadn't been accounting for how bad the shipping might be.

We're boston-based, so QRST might be a decent option. Do you have any other direct experience?

Well, the place I worked for (about 25 years ago!) is still going-- Original Design Company (http://www.originaldesigncompany.com/) in North Woodstock, NH-- just a trip up 93 from Boston. I have no idea how their prices are these days, but they are good people, and do great work. (Or, at least they did a quarter century ago...)

Check out who Tangosol used to use. I'd bet they sourced locally.
