I'm just not an outsorcing fan. I been involved with companies where they've outsourced and before the inks even dried the third party begins to cut back on costs....I remember at times not asking for changes and them simply happing since the company now incharge of this division found a way to save money. In the end it hurts the customer getting a subpar item because someone found a way to save 15 cents on mass production of the item.
