While Greg at Blue Mountain is talented, I have found that he consistently promises more than he delivers and problems are always someone else's fault. He's not exactly Mr. personality when the equipment isn't working either. As for his support, you only have to be around him a little while to find out he is a designer, NOT a mechanic. I have no financial interest in GRT, don't personally know anyone who does have a financial interest in the company or who works there. Our relationship is that I'm a satisfied customer.
