I have dealt and bought from both Jason and David. In fact, I have purchased at least three guitars from David. Both are good guys in my book.
Email can be a tricky business... you can tell so much more from a voice.
Nonetheless, one can blame you for trusting your gut and looking elsewhere.
If you want a other options I would recommend both Elderly Instruments or E.M. Shorts Guitars.

Good luck finding that Larrivee!
