Crikey you are right! I had not looked at the E6 prices. Not terribly competitive I grant you. But everything else is good. I priced up Genie in advance of sending off my last batch and overall I think what I got done at Fujifilm DIS Burnley would have cost me about 35-45% more at Genie (on about £50 worth of d&p and scans).
Also the flickr group I found that was discussing minilabs had a lot more people in favour of Burnley than Genie, which had some disgruntled customers re: dust, fingerprints and "thin" scans. I know you've had good results from them but I think you said you've not scans done by them so maybe that is where they let themselves them down?
Here's some scans from the Burnley lab, the photos aren't great which is my fault (check the vignetting and the poor focus on a couple, let alone the dull compositions!). I think the scans are great though
