Yup, for linear rails, I google the manuufacturer and call them to
see who is local. The manufacturer usually knows a couple local
people and gettting 3 quotes will keep people honest.

For the 80/20 stuff that seems to be pretty unique stuff. There are
so many sizes and types that you really need to look at the catalouge
pages.

Let us know what you find out. On that stuff, I would get a couple
prices also as some people are VAR's and mark it up quite a bit.
