Help: Oakwood Banjos

A buddy is wanting to buy a new tenor Banjo. He has seen some Oakwood models he likes, though all had some faults(nothing major). Any thoughts, anybody got one? Also' Andrew Whale and Cousins Banjos likewise. Cheers, mandomad

He may be able to get a better deal if he looks at old second hand Vega or Gibson banjos. They seem to me to have a better, mellower sound than the new ones. I have a friend who bought a Whale and he said he would swap it any day for my 1920's Vega.
