FWIW, I bought my FMR Audio RNP from Mercenary last Spring and had nothing but good dealings with these guys. Personal, customer service is something I value very highly and definitely got it with Merc. Also, the RNP ran me $475, so if they gave me such great service for such a small item, they must be really great to work with if you're going to drop the change for a set of Josephson's or their studio stuff. On their website they make a point of asking folks to drop by anytime just to chat, and maybe a few brews if it's after hours. YMMV - Matt
