I'd be careful of strains of any apple which "ripens sooner".  Usually that 
means 
they just color sooner, so you can pick them and sell them before they're 
ripe.

That said, the healthiest, biggest trees I've ever bought came from Van 
Well's, and 
for a good price.  That was almost 20 years ago though; I didn't buy again, 
because they've got commercial West Coast stuff.  However, I STILL get their 
mailings, so don't contact them unless you want to be on a permanent mailing 
list!
