What are your thoughts on these signals. Do they work well?

I've found Z Stuff signals to be terrific products - their service not so much. I would strongly recommend ordering from someone reputable like Ross. I ordered, about a 1.5 years ago, from Z stuff online. Quick to charge my card. A month goes by and no product. Call and call, and call. No answer. No response to voicemails and email. Finally I get a guy on the phone who was quite rude and said "my daughter runs that side of the business and it isn't my problem" and hung up. Another month goes by and I called and left another voicemail threatening to fight the charges if I didn't receive product by the end of the week. Surprise, my stuff arrives next day overnight mail!
I've used their signals for two years now. They are easy to set up and they have worked flawlessly. I bought them from someone other than the manufacturer. But I did hear that it took them over a year to restock some of their items.
I am looking for additional banjo signals and crossing gates but there web sight said they were not available.... that was 3 months ago....
I have to say that I have a lot of their switch machines and some of their signals. They are good products and Dennis Zander does stand behind them. He has even called me at home to make sure everything was fixed when I had a problem. I know he has had delays in shipping products and sometimes quality due to his overseas supplier, but he's a good guy.

Me to...
I talked to the guy at the NOVI show last spring and all he told me was to keep watching the website.... I'm not holding my breath...
I had two sets of crossing gates back in 2011 HIGH PRICE, I loved the slow operation and they worked very well for about six months and than within two weeks of each other they both burned out.
Please give Dennis a break, he has had health problems since York week. I have used several of his signals and relays over the years and found them flawless.
I have 17 switches using Dz-2500 and only Had issues with 2 and Dennis said to ship them to him and he fixed at no charge quickly. likewise he has called me to discuss my problems, being a newbie, and was very friendly and helpful.
Trainchief, do you know how Dennis is doing? I posted right after York and the response was that he was coming along well.
I do not have Dennis yard system, but I've dealt with Dennis for years and IMO he is absolutely first class.

I emailed Dennis and asked him if he had the signals I wanted in stock. He did so I ordered them.
I have met him and his wife at York, very nice people.
How are the Lionel signals? Are they good or a better deal? Or am I better to go with Z stuff?
