CS/UBS in Los Angeles?

I often hear that UBS and CS are by far and away the top IBs in Los Angeles.

Does anybody dispute this, or is it pretty much generally accepted? For those in the know, I'm also interested in hearing where GS and MS fall on the LA ladder.

I understand that reputation is largely group-specific, I'm just looking for a rough firm-level approximation.

Opinions appreciated.

TIA.
