Peen straightening is a good idea.

Did you contact him, if so what did he say?

No I didn't, it's been a while but I don't think I said anything because I know on at least one of those batches I was in a huge rush so I just dealt with it. But I remember thinking that I will stick w/ peter's from then on.
Yeah, these ones from peters weren't peened, they were blasted w/ an alox or garnet sand (so it etches into the surface, doesn't peen it really) - not that I had a problem w/ it. i figured it was to remove the torching marks
Warp is one thing ,
Using media to blast the steel is "Peening" it is a technique used to straighten metal. You blast it on the concave side and the concave surface will rise toward the nozzle.
