They cost almost the same price as I was getting quoted for raw materials, ($25/each), and knowing how hard stainless is to work with, an easy decision.

Kevin, Tell them nice work. The only reason to not go with the cheaper laser cut is if you plan to machine the part after blanking. The laser produces a "crust" on the cut as it's a heat process. The water jet is like a continuous grinding process so it doesn't harden the edge. Since you are just going to weld on a ex pipe the laser is a great choice. Parts look great.
