I am going through this process now.
I was going to buy NeilPryde, but finally went North. The NP sail would be manufactured in China, the NP UV strip would have been glued instead of sewn on, and the North was being assembled close enough to me such that having the sail bent on and looking at it could be done before the final payment, such that any imperfections could be corrected. As a result, I am paying more for the sails, but feel more secure.
Make sure you communicate cloth specs between the "bidders", as otherwise you may be talking apples and oranges.
Hope this helps.
