Hi Troy,
My pleasure! Thanks for your follow-up post.
Well, you do seem to know your market well, & have clearly set up your site specifically with them in mind. Good for you. That's what marketing is all about.
On that premise, & discounting my opinions on Flash, I'll give your site a 9.5 out of a 10.
Wishing you all the best.
Pat

This does affect usability in a limited way, but I'm not sold on the idea that usability=good website. Jakob Nielson's site is one of the ugliest sites on the web and showing my wares on a site like that would end my design career.
