My DJ finalists - Please help me decide

So we interviewed 3 DJ's so far...Jimmy Dee, Next Generation, and The DJ Company.  We are also going to try and meet with DJ Serg, but haven't yet. 
Anyway, we are looking for the top of the line package...like Plasma screems, uplighting, and the Gobo Monogram included.  That being said Jimmy Dee quoted us at almost $1,700 MORE than Next Generation and The DJ Company.  The DJ Company offered us the best price so far, but we are hesitant to use them since no one we know has used them before.  We are looking for a real energetic, engaging MC.  We believe the MC is most important. 

So what are your thoughts on Jimmy Dee, Next Generation, The DJ Company, and DJ Serg?  And which MC from these companies did you use for your wedding?

Thanks so much fellow knotties for all your help :)

    We used Alex from Jimmy Dee. He kept the dance floor going all night and we were super happy.

    I used the DJ Company for my lighting including a gobo and uplighting and it was fabulous. It made the room look awesome. I know you're looking for music but since you mentioned lighting I thought I might as well tell you.

    I went with Jimmy Dee...I used Richie as our MC. 
    Are you the one getting married at fountainhead?  Thats why I got married and I didn't have any extra ligthing and really ddin't feel I needed it because of how the room lights are....But Richie was great! We had him do percussion also...we didn't have a plasma screen

    Crissyo - I was going to have it at the Fountainhead, but ultimately went with the Villa Barone Hilltop Manor.  It was a touch choice though for sure.  And i am hoping i made the right choice!

    I think we are very close to booking The DJ Company, unless Jimmy Dee really begins to negotiate their proce with us.  I would just like to know what MC from The DJ Company other Knotties used?  If we go with Jimmy Dee, I would use Richie too, since Alex is already booked.

    I used The DJ Company and Tom was our MC.  They were fabulous.  I booked The DJ Company for our wedding because I saw them at a couple of other weddings.  Each time there was a different MC and they were are really good.  We also looked into Jimmy Dee, but cost was a big factor there.  My vote is for The DJ Company.
