I suggest SFS cause it's cheaper and more responsive service, however, if everyone prefers Samco, then Samco it will be... but as usual expect longer wait times that comes with that. I'll  let the masses decide if we go Samco or SFS... once I send out the official e-mail I'll tally the votes.

I've tried really hard to get Samco to cooperate and the lack of interest and customer service pushed me towards SFS to see what they can do. It's been what a month or so? waiting of Samco to respond and give me a quote (back and forth with measurements, and calling and e-mail begging for a response, it got a little ridiculous chasing them..., they finally came back and they are $20 USD more expensive than SFS per hose, although there tooling costs are slightly lower.

I will base costs on getting 20 confirmed. If everyone wants Samco, then costs will be higher, and probably the wait... but you all know that!
