Hi dyannesky
Good post and good information.
Thanks for sharing your experience. It will be helpful to many people.

It's good you chose premium service. If you can budget for that then I agree it's a great idea and saves much stress and waiting.
It's OK if your case is straightforward, but not worth risking the extra cost if the case is likely to need more checking that cannot be done on the day.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing.
