Default CMW heads - anyone?

Given the allure of Ninemeister heads - and their attendant price (the damn exchange rate), anyone checked out / know of / have experience with these guys?

I've heard Peter Dawe is doing billet heads now also. Must be something to it ...

There's several posts on Pelican outlining perceived machining deficiencies, specifically chatter induced machining deficiencies. Also, there's at least one mention of a buyer having to wait a year to get his heads after a group buy. I believe there's one fellow not far away from you (Ontario) who posted pics of his CMW heads that clearly demonstrate the chatter. He was disappointed by the finish. It may have been on the RSR clone thread but I'm not positive - the one that's 60+ pages.

I think that Steve Timmins has used their product. Might want to call him:

I have been led to believe the same thoughts.
