>At least you will be replacing them instead of the other way around. I left one job a couple of years ago when all the developers were told all development would be done in India. They had done three projects there, all disasters, but only got more committed to the idea. I don't think that would have been the case if they had looked at the real cost (including overruns), not hourly rates. Not to mention quality. It was also a massive PITA communicating with them, not only the language issue but the 11 hour time difference.

I agree, and they have found the same sort of issues here. Luckily we're big enough to do a lot of development, and small enough to feel like a small company.
