B/W processing and printing (follow-up with rates)

Yesterday, I sent the message which appears below regarding Frameworkers
experience with BWN processing and printing at various labs across the
U.S. and Canada.

I thought I'd follow up and offer some of my findings. Since price should
not entirely determine where one decides to send their film I have
included prices below and will ask (again) for people to provide some
feedback as to their experience(s) regarding "quality of work".

You can reply offlist if you feel more comfortable...

Still looking into Candian Labs...though the border may cause delays, or
make it impossible to consider sending film.

Having done a bulking of my B/W processing and printing with Mark Kosarik
(though I'm not shooting reversal anymore), Franklin Labs (now closed),
and Forde (now merged), I was hoping others on the list could share their
experiences with LABS in processing 7231/7222/7363 and printing (work,
answer/release) 7302.

Mainly, I'm thinking U.S. but I'd consider Canada as well...

Also curious if anyone on the list is currently shooting ORWO UN54 or N74,
and printing on
ORWO's PF2?
