I've used cw for 3D pattern production when Chris ran the company. Very good for patterns material can be a little fragile for production models so we only use them for patterns?

Has anyone had any experience with 3D printing from (owned by Time Evans)? He is offering a 16micron layers process and the photos show a reasonably smooth surface.
By comparison has anyone had experience with Shapeways' "Frosted Extreme Detail" (16micron layers) or their "High Definition Acrylate" (50micron layers).
With the little bit of 3D printing that I have done I feel a smooth surface with minimum "stepping" visible?on the layers is more important than actual minimum detail size. Previous experience with the Shapeways' "Frosted Ultra Detail" process also had a textured surface where the wax support structure was in contact with the model.
Any comments on the quality/smoothness of the various processes or value for money is appreciated.
