Check the prices from Advanced Circuits, it isn't a little more the last
time I checked, it's a lot more, like 2-3 times the price of everyone else
in that space. The original quote for 5 pieces of a 4 layer board was like
$550 from Advanced Circuits, I can get the same deal from pcbfabexpress for
$180(and this was for the same turn). Which makes me wonder where they are
getting their business from. If they are at the high end of the quality
space then that explains it. Otherwise if they are a "me too" outfit then I
am scratching my head.
I threw out the LLC idea with the thought that perhaps you do some work for
yourself(consulting or otherwise). An LLC is a nice little thing to
protect you. I didn't propose it as a one off deal to help you get a
cheaper board price. In any case you may try to float it anyway with a
fictitious company name. When I did the first time deal with Advanced
Circuits there really didn't appear to be any checking of the company even
though I had a valid LLC. The worst that can happen is they say no, best
case is they accept the order.

I'm willing to pay a little more for a better company, when it's worth
it.

$150 to get a one-time deal on a PCB, isn't a deal.
