Even with Ed as a part of the team, I've interacted with a number of HP consultants regarding Exchange 2007 and they seem to be very up to speed (or at least the dust trail I'm following makes it seem that way). I know a few MCS folks as well and obviously they have some good escalation resources. :) I can't comment on any other groups, but I'm sure that their top folks are top folks for a reason. I think at this point asking questions about deployment practices and methodologies is certainly appropriate and you can compare the talking points from each group as at least one yardstick (I'm assuming low-cost bidder isn't the only factor you'll consider).
