Shane I am glad you got help......But really for someone who has been at this as long as you have, would it not be better for you to learn how to do it yourself?....

Just a few minutes at the most on a task like this.Less than a minute in the right hands.
I still haven't received a CD file from a pro designer ever, only a few from the occasional customer, and it's been way over a year.Steve
Me either, but I have gotten a bunch of overly complicated AI files from pro designers who, though pro, still have no clue what we need for screen printing their furshlugginer designs on shirts!

Not an AI issue, that is an "designer" issue. Apart from my home venture with screen printing, I work in a packaging company in their design/pre-press department.You should have seen the files we get there from huge design firms. Some of those people do not deserve to pass Design 101 or Illustrator 101 class.Sometimes it takes me more time to fix that to do the same thing from scratch.

The answer to that depends on your customer base. For those who have a good balance between customers who provide Illy and Corel files, It is a good practice to know "something" about both.As a service provider like myself, it's a good thing to have both programs although, I'm more proficient in one.
