I took out the nearly new driveshaft again (that had been cut and balanced) and took it to a different driveshaft shop. He placed it on the machine with me there and it was obvious it had a very slight wobble: not true/straight and the ujoint could also be slightly moved in the yoke (rear). They built me a new driveshaft using my front yoke and joint and I put it in and voila - smooth as silk! So...old lesson learned yet again: Just because one shop says it's good doesn't mean it's so.

I'm so jazzed the vibration is gone that I haven't thought that far out. I probably will but as has been mentioned, it'll probably be something "I did" that caused it to vibrate....
