Pini Parma // Tailoring Question

Does anyone have experience with Pini Parma suits? I love the styles and the price points seem reasonable. I purchased a pair of pants from them, which looked great, but fit poorly. Luckily, after two trips to separate tailors, they fit perfectly. I'm more hesitant to purchase a jacket/suit from them for a couple of reasons. First, I typically don't fit well into off the rack garments. I'm 6'2", 178 pounds and lean. In the US, 40R is typically the best fit, but I have long arms, uneven shoulders and a significant drop in back. I also prefer slim arms and prefer high armholes.

I have a few bespoke suits that I love, but honestly don't want to spend $3k plus on another. A couple questions for anyone who has experience with Pini Parma and/or general tailoring knowledge:

1. In your experience, what's the most difficult, expensive or unachievable alteration? My guess would be getting the high armholes to fit correctly.
2. Will Pini Parma (or any similar company) provide details about the seam allowances in their garments?
