Well put...I am with you totally.
As a Canon user, if I became upset over a rebate issue, having been invested in them by spending tens of thousands of dollars on Canon gear, leaves me very little choice. However, with smaller vendors out there, like with Steadicam in this situation, my future decisions to buy or not to buy from them can easily reflect the way I was treated by them.
The rebate processing firms incentive to potentially screw people out of their rebate checks, does not serve the interest of the companies who hire them to process their rebates. As we don't know who the rebate processors are, but would rightly blame the company who hired them.
