Default Having work done locally vs. long distance

Since the long and winding thread on the failed engine has been resolved, how many on here are leery about sending a big job like that across country? I'll admit I've sent a set of heads to Dave Bisshop in Canada, but I've never had engine machine work done somewhere I can't visit in person and the situation that arose in that thread just reaffirms that.

In most parts of the country just spending time at local events and getting some input from people there can usually yield several very good machine shops in the immediate vicinity. If for some reason an issue arises, as they can and often do, it can be taken care of in person.

I'm curious as to how other feel about this, agree/disagree?
