Royce vs Phil Wood

Phil Wood (just) get my vote unless I am feeling particularly jingoistic. Royce good, but look at the number of really old Phil Woods still knocking around. Royce seem a bit harder to get hold of if something goes wrong. Phil Wood probably just edge it.
That's probably the biggest piece of crap ever, one is based in england and so you are likely to have much less problems in my opinion with them, especially as they are a smaller company.
