Printing alternative

Have any of you used this service before: http://www.digitalsilverimaging.com/

I think I may like to try their B&W basic printing on RC paper. Since darkroom printing is out of the question right now and this seems it would work well with my hybrid workflow it might be worth a shot. I can get 10x10 prints for $8 each 8x10 for $4.50, and 8x12 for $8.

I had a couple of prints done here along with the same files printed at my usual BayPhoto. Hands down the dsi prints are better. The BP ones have a dark blue tint to them while the DSI prints are black, white, and tones of gray. Does it look like a darkroom print? Somewhat, at least as far as the tonality is concerned. The BP prints were also cropped and upsized ever so slightly. Enough you could tell in comparison. The DSI prints were also a tad sharper. I would venture to guess that their premium printing would be very nice. I will definitely be sending all my print worthy (IMO of course) B&W shots there from now on.
