Since you're in NY, Oddy would make the most sense, although all 3 that have been mentioned are excellent. I've had great luck with JR at RBS, he even built a wooden shipping crate to ship mine back this last time a couple of months ago. Shipping from Nashville to Northern Cal. was a little over $100 each way though. A lot of the guys that run PC-1 and PC-2 with the NPCA seem real happy with Fowler. One thing I really like about RBS, he carries all kinds of periphial pieces that are hard to find anywhere else. BTW what kind of usage, heads-up, fast bracket, fast street? Reason I ask, your rotors really look good to have 10 years on them, if you havn't had a decrease in performance, and need consistency more than total power, believe I would just check the gears for wear or excess backlash, and make sure the teflon hasn't come out anywhere. Fresh stripping is great but it will lose 5-7% in two or 3 passes, but will stay consistent for quite a while after. Not trying to talk you in or out of anything, just trying to weigh out the gains for the expense involved.
