Trust me, level 2 or M,D. means nothing.They both change in a heartbeat.If you look at bid/ask sometimes,they don't even hold water.Save your money

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I think I will save my money and not pay for level 2 quotes. Maybe I will renovate my condo...another investment decision I am glad I made.
