Thanks to those who have responded so far: keep 'em coming!

To give more background, I have visited several manufacturers on site (Lone Star and Midstates). We have some friends moving to Boston, so that should be reason enough to go up there and visit FFR.

I did stop by a Houston gathering last weekend at Willie's in Sugar Land: was that the TCC that put that on? Definitely was a good time, and I was able to talk briefly to a few folks. Most of my time was spent chasing around my enthusastic 3 year old son, so I wasn't able to have real in depth talks! I'll definitely be on the lookout for future such gatherings, as that first hand builder experience can be really helpful in my earth-shattering decision.

late.
