Evaluate against what? While Ive heard of Steward in the past I see nothing on Lairds site that gives me any information to base an evaluation on.
Would you buy a complete unknown product of any kind without knowing all the specs? And not having to waste time filling out a form and not even knowing what that will bring? IMO, its a pretty dumb way of doing business. Since they are almost in my back yard I might take a drive up next week.
