Update Authorized Builder List /Commercial Cab Comparison?

Hi Bill,
I have two questions.
1.) Do you have plans to update the authorized Builders list? There's quite a few builders that I have emailed and never ever received a response even after multiple follow-ups.
2.) A lot of the build URLs are comparing against much older retail cabs ( over 20 years old?) With up-and-coming younger generation do you have plans to update your comparisons with more modern retail cabinets?

I drop builders from the list only at their request. As for more modern retail cabinets, there have been very few significant changes to them, other than upgraded driver performance. I account for that by periodically revising the recommended drivers list, so to the extent that commercial cabs are getting better so are ours.

Gotcha. In case anyone else is curious, below builder I emailed multiple times over the years and no response. May be worth removing them from the list..

Bill and anyone else that have been searching or authorized builders in the USA: I have spent the past year trying to contact some of these folks. Below emails have zero reply. I've followed up 3x via emails to each.
Bill, don''t know if these folks pay a royalty for the franchise, but you may want to clean up the list. New folks to the site that want a builder will reach a "no response" from them.
