Anyone deal with Pro Winds (IN)?

I've not heard much about this dealer but notice that they now have a fairly large brass selection. Has anone bought from them? If so, what was your experience? PM me if you prefer.
The sax forums seems to speak well of this vendor, but these are . . . after all . . . sax players.
Looks like they have another store in Indianapolis and plan to open new stores in "underserved" markets.
I've said this before here, in Chicago, there is a dearth of brass music shops. Many, many string shops . . . but no brass other than the occasional Yamaha trumpet/sax gathering dust.
Oh, for the days of Charlie Grano, Kagan & Gaines*, and the other places that once lined Wabash Avenue. Not to mention the Schilke shop a bit further south.
*K&G still exists in the 'burbs but is mainly a string shop now.
