Welcome, Jacob!
It seems there's a number of long-time lurkers coming out of the shadows lately - so you're in good company.
As you well know, there is an amazing pool of knowledge here and, if you haven't noticed, not all the contributors actually have a GT in their garage... so don't be shy about sharing your wisdom and experience. I guarantee there is someone who will benefit from your input.
Even though I'm a shameless RCR fan, your preference to purchase from a company on your continent clearly indicates you're a wise man.
Regards,
T.
