I know the guys in Connecticut do outstanding work. I've seen some of it.
Something to consider is what will you be able to do after the build if you have a problem or need a repair. I built ERA #778 myself, bought the engine from Keith Craft in Arkansas, and had it painted by someone 200 miles away. They both did great jobs and I am completely satisfied with the results, but it can be a real pain in the ### when you need help later on.
For example, I put a little scratch on mine (accident in my garage) and will probably have to drive or tow the car to the painter - major trip! Hope I never have to get Keith's help on the engine! He's two days away!
There are important advantages to working with someone close enough to help out later on, whether it's a scratch or an oil leak. Think about the possibilities.
By the way, excellent choice in ERA. Good luck on your build!
