Machine shop showdown!

My favorite machinist (RIP John Edwards @ Costa Mesa R&D) passed away over a year ago. I'm in need of a good machinist for basics for the next motor I'm starting to build up. Any opinions on RIMCO vs EMW for the basics?

* Case deck, line bore, and clearance for stroker
* Basic connecting rod stuff
* Cylinder inspection and honing

The normal stuff...

Thanks.
