Amazon Advantage is free to sign up and is worthwhile for anyone without
Distribution.  They take a much bigger cut from advantage participants than
they do with albums they get from distributors.

Discmakers makes their money off volume business.  This might be a good
thing if you're buying toilet paper, but it's not such a good thing when
you're producing an album.  Discmakers has good prices, but you can 
probably
come close to that with a local pressing agent who can help gaurentee a
higher quality release and will spend more time educating you to the
process.
