Yitay – You buttered it up and that’s why your post made it through. I wasn’t so gentle and therefore my post didn’t make it through. But I did tell the OP – that I personally have not looked into this issue and am not on either side. The best thing for him to do is to ask as many people and Rabbonim that he knows and not just in Lakewood, if he needs to know L’masseh.
And btw, even though I live here, I did my GET with a Bais Din from a different city/town.
