Can You Recommend A Smith?

I already discussed this with forgemonkey. Due to tooling changes, he can't do it.
I would like Novak's night sights mounted on my Colt Commander. A front dovetail would have to be cut. I don't know whether the rear dovetail would have to be cut differently.
While we're at it, I would like the feed ramp polished a bit. The gun is a little balky with sharp bullet profiles.
forgemonkey referred me to Cylinder & Slide. They seem to think that you can't polish aluminum, and insist on machining out the frame to accept a steel ramp insert. I don't want to do that.
I tried Novak's, and I thought their estimate was a little tall, $470 including return shipping.
So, are any of you able to do such a job, or do you know someone who can?
