I've also done business with Stewarts for nearly 30 years. Both as an amateur and for my employer(s). Never had any complaint. Last purchase was a 5316A counter at a bargain £75. the website is not brillant to look at but is a nice change from the extremes of "not updated in 6 years" to "lists every model number known, none in stock".
