That's all I know. Once a company no longer is PBA sanctioned means they are probably on the wrong side of economy of scale. Have no inside knowledge and love the hell out of my Visionary pieces (by the way sorry to pollute Seismic forum) but when an industry isn't growing its usually the small guys who suffer most. All that said in my honest opinion Jason has proven for quite some time that factory can do top quality pours. Guess the question is can it be done at scale and profitably.
