Is there a heirarchy of Tie Pilot Helmet makers?

I figure Laws is at the top, but that's all I know. SDS is persona non grata, After that, i'm out

Input would be appreciated - via PM if necessary. Just have no clue who all makes 'em and the accuracy level. I'd consider laws, but from what i've read lately, the wait is like a year or longer...long wait considering i've read you need to pay up front.

Hi-Impact produced a few outside of the group but we stopped after being recast at least 4 times in one year.
The group has since then retired for the most part as far as I know.
The last event we did as a full group was the Ep 3 Charity Premier in SF.

There are still a few core members in the SFBA but I haven't seen or spoken to them for several years.
Several of us moved away due to the economy.

I'm a bit out of the loop but after Laws most would go for MC as the next most accurate bucket though really there isn't a lot between them.

Other than that I'd point you towards one of Jarvis' lids. I know DA still does a kit in HIPS but the faceplate is generally considered a recast and the Mohawk is too high and not quite wide enough causing a squished appearance.
