Yeah, I hear ya' on Selway. That seems to be a theme on here (do a search for Selway--you'll see what I mean).
And you're absolutely right about the HFO vs the factory. I'm spoiled because I'm in the same HFO territory as the factory. That means that they have very close ties to Oxnard and things just happen. My HFO doesn't sell anything
but Haas. It doesn't hurt having a few rockstar employees as well.
The problem for you is that even if you don't choose Haas, you actually have to choose something that isn't 'Selway.' I'm sure that Haas isn't the only brand they represent in your area.
