Hi Rob, how are you?
I base my decision primarily on product... meaning I have to first look *at* the product and then decide if it's going to be good for my customers.
Naturally the *person* behind the product will bump up my urgency to 'look' at the product, and the person is a big thing.
I see your name here, I see Garland's - I'd always look at your stuff. *Then* decide if it fits my own schedule and customer needs.

PS. Tend to shy away from the "Guru's" - but only because more ofte4n then not (from what I see of their product), they're not really that good anyway from a value / price point of view.
