Hi Bammo & All,

Yep, gotta agree with most of this. It has been quite a while since I've had any dealings with Andrews but as for advice and after sales service, BINTEL are in front because nearly all the people who work there are experienced amateurs (some of whom I count as friends) (full disclosure up-front).

At Andrews, they're generally not. If you are experienced, know exactly what you want and what you are going to do with it, price will probably be your guide or determining factor one way or another and no harm at all in using Andrews who are (generally) a bit cheaper -- sometimes more than a bit.

Best,

L.
