We are a small company (12 million) in the Midwest (Ohio).  We process
anywhere from 6 to 20 jobs per day from different customers.  I have
attended a couple Valor User groups with ODB++ sessions.  I have talked
with designers about sending us ODB and have even sent them names of
Valor people to contact, links to the downloads, etc., but no one has
yet to send me an ODB file.  Most of our customers are in the central
United States with more coming to us from the coasts. Whether the
customer is from a large or small corporation, military or commercial,
the majority of our data comes in RS274X.  In theory, it seems like a
good idea.  It may take some time for it to actually get into the
mainstream where we are.  It took RS274X quite a while before it was as
widely used as it is today.
