American PCB fabs defaulting to lead-free

Almost got a black eye here on a prototype. Ordered a bunch of large boards at Advanced Circuits and it turns out that the free upgrade to lead-free finish is actually a default that cannot easily be changed. IOW you can normally not decline this "upgrade". However, they were very understanding that we really didn't want lead-free and will now do our protos as production runs. No idea why we go RoHS here in the US now (this is a company that actually produces in the US).
Anyhow, just wanted to let you guys know about that before a nasty surprise happens to you.
