I wish it was in my budget to support the effort, simply because the people who are investing in these projects really need to see a positive return.

That said, out of the companies that were listed...
- Keith Black
- Bill Mitchell
- Bulldog
- Indy
- Callies

... a year from now, is any one of the above going to be able to deliver a quality product in a reasonable (2-4 weeks?) timeframe from when an order is placed?

From an industry outsider's perspective, most of those companies' track records haven't been that great.
