I do have an M-Plus Aristocrat and, like BBS, love mine and would buy another in a heartbeat if needed. I know they are worth every penny and that the humidification works perfectly. Additionally, and one of the main reasons I support Aristocrat Humidors, is the level of customer service you get in purchasing the piece. Not only was I impressed with the level of customization and personalization....but every time I call Aristocrat Humidors, the man himself picks up the phone....every.....damn......time.
....this. Besides best in class cabinetry and humidification, Staebell humidors come with Bob Staebell, one of if not the best guy in the business. Bob is a great guy, easy to work with, easy to get on the phone. Hard to put a price on that.
I'm sure Avallo products are nice, high quality cabinets. But, they don't come with Bob.....
