Jag,
I'm not worried about deliv sched, just have reservations about the quality of checkering, engraving and the wood. But mostly I have reservations that CSM is trading integrity off for the short term answers to their production problems and customer pressures. That's one reason I never pressured them for delivery.

Bam,
Yup, that's it, but I think the Lefever may be the way I end up going. The Parker is nice, but the Lefever is American made and a classic I've been wanting for quite a while.
