I've had dealings with both joe and simon,(mostly simon), and i can say they were both friendly, helpful, and honest.
I initially bought 10 or 15 scenes from simon 6 months ago in Quicktime format. As boneprone indicated, the encodes were sub-par quality, and the audio was also messed up.
Given the price of the content and the small order, i wasn't really expecting much help. I contacted simon and he told me he would re-encode them on mini dv for me at no charge when he 'got back from LA'. I was suspicious about that, thinking I was getting blown off.
However, 4 days later, he hit me up on ICQ and asked when I wanted them redone, and even if i wanted them delivered. I ended up picking up 40 more scenes on DV, all delivered, and quite promptly.
Simons HJ stuff is nice, as is Joe's.
But.......simon, the content is getting SERIOUSLY oversaturated. The price that they are currently being sold for comes off as a good deal, but with the rampant overexposure, it's honestly becoming 'filler' type stuff. Those that feel they can build a site with this content and be succesful......maybe.
It's not a stab at the quality, or the man himself. If you're looking for filler content, i would reccomend it.
