Can Someone from Sandler/KBW Comment on this?

Selected Transactions:

First Community Bancorp of Northwest Iowa to acquire three branches of Plainstown Thrift Bancshares

Little Johnny's Piggy Bank Announces IPO at $10/share

in all seriousness though, I know both are great banks with a chokehold on the sector, but how to analysts/associates feel about this high deal volume, low deal value model? I've seen firsthand some deals you guys worked on that really surprised me, but is that also partially just relationship building?
