Interesting thread...
I notice a lot of comments about the contract (and deciding whether or not to break it). Does it matter if your contract isn't with the client, but with an agency?
My first thought is that it might be worse, since you're (well, I would be) much more likely to get repeat business from an agent than from a client (it depends, though). I suppose it's true that you potentially upset two entities, rather than just one.
I can't see any arguments that would mean it is better if your contract is with an agent. Are there any?
I also wonder about the substitution argument - how easy is it to actually do that? If you are operating as a limited company, is it not possible to hire someone else, probably another contractor, to do the work for you? Is that sub-contracting?Comment
