Would have to agree with William. I am still getting Geotrust certificates less than what I can get them from OpenSRS for and I am not able to make the quantity of sales that OpenSRS can. I imagine that SRS is scared to commit to a volume of certificates etc. but I for one would consider devoting my sales through SRS to stream line things if they would commit and offer the resellers a better price.
