Choosing a tailor for MTM suit

I am new to the world of MTM suits - in the past I have bought suits from Giorgio Armani (all of which are now worn out) but on a trip last year to London I met Timothy Everest and had my first MTM suit made. I have recently ordered another suit (after I had worn the first one a few times and had it tweaked for a better fit) and hope to receive it shortly. I intend to order my third suit and was wondering if there was merit in trying one of the other establishments which are often referred to as the "new bespoke movement". Kilgour and Richard James are two such names that come to mind. Would members be able to shed light on the pros and cons of experimenting with a different establishment for a MTM suit? What are likely to be the key differences that one can expect by using a different house?

Many thanks, Kash.

may I assume that my post did not merit any feedback?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Is it Kilgour who does the Shanghai Bespoke? That seems like a nice option if you get to London. Take a look at the New English Dandy (http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-English-.../dp/050051268X) for other mid-sized houses and a description of their wares. Someone on the boards has used Spencer Hart, I believe.
