Thanks! the MK II is due back next Tuesday. I will be sure to post when I get it!
thanks for the tips. I found a shop that seems OK. spent about an hour just shooting the breeze with the owner and the bench tech. got a chance to see some of the work area in the back room.. in my limited experience, it seemed ok, so I'll give them a try with a lesser piece and see how it goes.
EDIT: giving these guys a try in case anyone was interested:
