All the machines have the same names, usually Noritsu, Fuji, or Agfa.

I just go by the results I see.  I don't see any difference between one lab and
another.  Developing film is not rocket science, after all.  Seeing the results
is much more persuasive to me than any amount of unsubstantiated assertion on
your part or on anyone else's part.

I knew that already; but as I've said, the results are consistent.  So
apparently the labs are pretty consistent as well.

However, if you want to pay four times more and wait a hundred times longer for
your negatives, even though they come out the same, that is your prerogative.
