I have not outsourced digital printing but your experiance is very similar to the old film days.
As a test for my camera club, I loaded 3 cameas with the same film and shot a variety of scenes with each camera with same lens, so in essence I ended up with 3 identical exposed films. Sent them off to 3 well known at the time labs, and got back three quite different results. One of which was so poor you would not believe.
Obviously not a lot has changed since then.
So links, like yours, to quality printers are well worth posting.
