I had a script written for me, which I paid for about 1/10 of what I was quoted by the 2 or 3 Americans I asked, it works 100%, the job was done on time, I had NO problems whatsoever. The common myth is that if you pay 10 times more to an American you'll get a very good product which is TOTAL bullshit.

hope that helps
