Lifesport has the edge in this thread. I wasn't super impressed by their sales side but admittedly I'm not looking for sales help here.
To reply to my own query for the files: both places wanted about the same $$$ for the job. I just got a better vibe at Ridley's so I got the work done there and it appears well done.
Does anyone know of a LBS in Calgary that stocks Framesaver for treating the interior of steel frame tubing?
