lucky you. i tried labs in boston (lots) and nyc (some). both, 1-hr type and "pro" labs. haven't seen one that would give me back a remotely reasonable set of prints. of course, if i were to order "custom" prints -- that's a different story. and a totally different price point. the way i see it, the lack of reasonably priced processing/printing basically forces digital down my throat. when i pay $20 to get a set of lousy 4x6s that would make me want to yell, an inkjet starts looking *very* attractive. oversharpened or not.
I find it hard to believe that you can try that many labs and not get decent results from any of them.
We had a guy floating around town here who badmouthed every lab in the area for giving crappy results.
It turned out he couldn't expose a negative properly to save his life.
