the funny thing is in general i think pinnacle is definitely a top notch lab. do i think they mark up too high, and does that annoy me because i know other people taking the same risks making the same level of quality of stuff, that don't mark it up anywhere near as high? sure. does that make me thing they are douchebags or a bad place? fuck no. they are far better than the vast majority of options out there, as others have pointed out.
i'm just saying when it really comes down to it, where a lab ranks on my, say, top 5 list, that is something that i determine by comparing the best to the best, looking at it from as many angles as i can. how do they measure up in my opinion? really good, just a bit too expensive so that does bring it down just a bit. if you had the opportunity to hire a photographer, and had two choices, 1 twice as expensive, but both having pretty much everything else in common..... which photographer would you hire for a job? probably the cheaper one, given the pics in his portfolio were just as impressive as the other guy? i'd say so.
how you run things is up to you, i'm just speaking from my own perspective.
