I went with CD two years ago. From what I have heard, Seco does an excellent job for less money. CD quality is great, as is their turn around time. At least at that time, I could actually get a knowledgeable person on the phone to answer my questions. My boat had several mismatches on clevis pin size. The cap shrouds and back stay chain plates had 3/8in holes, but the stay terminals were 5/16in. Not a great big deal, but I wanted them all to be the correct size. I taped a note to each piece that I wanted changed, and CD did an excellent job doing what I wanted. Most riggers will want you to send them your old stuff so they will get the correct length. A box of rigging is heavier than you would think. CD did hack me off on one thing. They convinced me the rigging will stretch over time and made mine slightly shorter. It fit, but just barely, I had to use the main halyard attached to the
rail to get the turnbuckles started and there is barely room in the turnbuckle for the cotter pin. It has been my experience that rigging does not stretch much. My old stuff was within 1/8in of original specs after 18 years. Make sure you communicate any change in length to the rigger.
