my personal experience,though there are some good agencies,i prefer the indy.i would rather deal with someone that does her own booking and screening.i like that the provider gets all of the gift rather than some un-even split with someone who may have no interest in her beyond the cash she brings in.a well reveiwed independent is your best bet,i find them very honest about whats available,much better than hearing thats extra or i dont do that after you've taken care of the gift giving.this town has some very talented independents and i find the time spent with them is just more personal and satisfying

For me, it less than 50 - 50 with agencies. Definitely hit or miss here in Chicago. It was a lot worse in LA with bait 'n switch tactics, upselling, and outright lies about what was promised over the phone. With a well-reviewed independent girl those odds increase dramatically. You almost always have a good time. Now there is a growing arrogance among some indies as well, late, no-shows, fair to poor service, but because so many guys give them high marks for looks, sometimes the lack of performance get lost.

well reviewed Indies. Indys see less guys per day as a rule and don't typically book back to back to back. If an indy likes you and there is some chemistry, she may give you extra time gratis. Some agencies book 10 guys per day per girl or more.  Also, indy's reputations are based on their performance, attitude, atmosphere, cleanliness etc. Ask yourself this question, would you rather do business with the OWNER of the business or a subordinate??? This is not to say there are NO good agencies. In general indys win hands down if their reviews are stellar!!!
