Microscreen of South Bend, Indiana (219-232-4358) is another good candidate. I haven't used their step down stencils but I know they are available.

Photo Stencil has the most experienced designers and can advise the most workable solution. I have used both with great success. I believe both ship worldwide. Not all shops can do step down stencils because the any process used to do this is either messy or capital intensive and it is difficult to get a reliable source of stepdowned material so they do not offer the option.
