Almost went myself a few months ago but I can't get past how they look.

Agee don't...great fitting. I was there for just over two hours getting mine done. It's never leaving the bag...I just wish I had gone for silver rather than the black head
Plunge well and truly taken, fitting done and putter ordered. might have it before Christmas with any luck.
Can't remember the specs, they come with the order sheet, only did it yesterday, E3 head in black, two lines on top and one on the bottom, opti vibe and weight in grip but can't remember off hand.
My current putter Odyssey Versa No. 9, I thought was a great putter, loved it, but I kept pulling puts, Brian got me lined up, stepped in and out of my line up 3 times and on the third I saw where I was aiming, about 18inches right and 24inches up. Brian explained that the curved back of the half mallet style No.9 draws your aim where I was. He gave me an E3, no lines ad that immediately brought me down low left, after changing the hosel bend style several times, he settled on one that put my aim in a consistent place every time I stepped away and lined up again. He had me just stepping back out and in and also coming in from behind the ball, picking a spot as if I was on a real green. Happy with the hosel we started on drawing lines on the head, one line, two lines, top, bottom, both. Its weird how a couple of lines can alter your aim, but we settled on two on top and one on the bottom, that had me lined up inline with the cup every time.
Next it was weights, he added the opti vibe and no weight to the head or grip and had me put to a line about 20feet away, I was short, to long to inconsistent, he then changed the weight heavier, which had me being to aggressive, sending the ball way past the line, so we went back lighter, moved the opti vibe down the shaft back up again, added weight to the head, took it away added again but lighter, did the same with the grip, and after every change got me to put 5 balls to the string, after a little over 1hr 45mins I had 5 balls caterpillar onto each other on the string, 5 out of 5, club felt balanced, heavy enough so I knew I was holding something without it feeling like it was waving all over the place, really good, really really good and Brian was spot on, great bloke, no pressure to buy, explained the whole process from start to finish and as we went along.
I'm very happy and now have the frustrating wait for my new putter to arrive.
