I should add that this is the first order.  If we do the kind of 
business we are hoping/expecting to, this will be scaling reasonably 
fast, and this is the tip of the proverbial iceberg.  We want to go with 
a vendor we trust from day one and be prepared to live with this 
critical decision for the long haul as we buy a lot more equipment.

Thanks again for all the feedback.
