Yes. I have also met the guy who runs this place. Have no comments. I know that one of the top traders from here trades through them. I would assume they are reasonable... Agassi
Don't like the software of either Assent or Echo (though I have heard they're solid firms). Bright is obviously a solid firm but if I paid their commissions I'd be net negative nearly everyday.
I've been with BCF since early 2005, and they've been great to me. I have nothing but good things to say, like Red_Ink_inc said good firm and good people.
I'll also 'second' Red Ink's comments. I've been with Bear for 3 yrs now, and they have been nothing but good to me (which i don't take for granted given some of the prop horror stories out there). I'd definitely recommend them to anyone.
