Yea, it can be quite a task getting pricing from the various sources. I've done it before.
The first time, i used porpoise sails in Florida and got a used head sail and a new main. I had no idea what i was doing and the prices were great.
The second time, After a lot of quotes, i ended up using a local loft. With a boat show discount, their price was very competitive. Not as competitive as rolly tasker though. However, they were quantum sails. Very nice sails!
The last time i used precision sail loft. Great pricing and very customizable with sail cloth options and added features. I got a 135% for my 40 foot tartan for about $3300 delivered and i got the best level with all the added features like, added rows of stitching and reinforced everything! The lowest level would have been just under $2000 IIRC. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. When i Googled the loft address it showed the same address for quantum sail loft.
More recently, i did some research on a main sail and got pricing from neil pryde <sp> that was very competitive. They made my existing main sail and when I'm ready I'll probably be going with them for the new main sail. I have the Shafer boom furling system and they already have the design on file. That might be why the price was so good.
It's really not an easy task and you should probably get into by getting a bunch of quotes and learn what the different prices represent. Or, just get the cheapest. I guess it depends on how much of a hurry you're in. The boat shows are usually a good place to start.
