Alternate ME's L.A.?

So, I'm getting close to mastering my next record. Back in the day when my bands had deals, we mastered with Grundman etc. obviously stellar experiences. Now, on my own, I'm looking for alternative great ME's here in L.A. When i say alternative, I guess I mean a more affordable one. GS was really helpful last year when i was going through a nightmare ME experience here in town. But persistence,diligence and physical threats netted me what i needed. Ofcourse I'm only kidding about the physical threats! I got Phil Spector to pay him a visit!
Anyways, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
BTW, I need to be present at the session.

peace for '09 and beyond.

Do you have a range for the budget ? Might help narrow down the options. . .

Thanks for the response.
Less than Schreyer or Grundman. They are $350/hr. No where near what I can afford not being with a label. I guess somewhere in the 75-100/hr. or preferably a per track fee. It will totally depend on who the alternative might be.

+1 for Dave Collins.

Another option would be Gavin Lurssen @ Lurssen mastering in Hollywood.
