I work for a major co. and agree the 211 is solid but stay away from proprietary equipment. I don't know if B.C.'s companies are run like California; where most of us on this site are located, but if it is, you will be unhappy real quick with majors or the owners will be. Don't get me wrong I like the company I'm with, but to make it easy on the customer and other companies that will come along which they will unless hell freezes over keep it simple. Boards, tool's, and prints aren't cheap from big companies. If you go with motion control, Virginia controls or any independent control elevator manufacturer you can actually talk to someone that day. If you need parts you can receive them usually overnight, not to mention elevators now are like tin cans from all the big guys. I can go on forever about this, the majors will basically give the elevators to you if you use their products. This might sound good at the negotiating table, but they do this so you will stay with them. They know a lot of companies will not take on their equipment because of cost relating to them. You get pigeoned holed and stuck with them. Basically if you don't like them and no one wants to take on their equipment what do you do then? This is just my opinion take it how you will, but I work for a big company and have unlimited resources, and we turn down big jobs all the time due to the equipment installed. There is just too much hassle. However, major companies are great for new installs because of the engineering departments that they have. Just educate yourself with the pros and cons.
