Thanks, Dave. That was my original plan but I got side-tracked by how much cheaper the Schott glass was - even with the freight added it was about half the price of the Simax.
However, I talked with the rest of the group who wants to do the bulk buy with me and we all prefer Simax. And I talked with Russ in Tucson (while buying up all kinds of good stuff there) and he said to give him a call to see what you guys can do on the price if we buy a bunch. I'm planning to do so tomorrow...
BTW, I am told that Simax also makes an "artistic" line called Boro33 that is basically the same glass, but with slightly looser tolerances. Is this true? Is it actually significantly cheaper? And do you sell it as well?
