MBB West Coast Offices

Can anyone provide a comparison of the MBB west coast offices (LA, SF for all, Seattle for McK). Also, I've heard local business is flat, thus you can bank and traveling out of state more than one would if one were located in the Midwest/East coast - any truth to this?

Bain SF travels much less than McK SF or BCG SF I think. Max 50% are travel cases I've heard, and this is consistent with Bain's rep of traveling less than the other two MBBs.
