It seems they still need to work out issues with their customer service. I didn't get this at all. When I inquired, my understanding was that I would be able to deal with them directly.

Besides appearance, the angular model is a lower profile so that could be a consideration depending on the overall design.

And maybe they have changed their business model with ABM out of the picture.But in the interest of completeness, I mention them as another vendor.

I'm having a custom piece made by ETS and it's taking significantly longer. Which is fine since they're a relatively small company and pretty nice-seeming guys besides; however, be aware that if you have a mission-critical need for the piece, give yourself plenty of time.
