Insurance quotes

How do you get more than one insurance quote on an aircraft?

I am in the process of buying an plane and called round three agents. The first got back to me with a quote, the other two called back and said the underwriters wouldn't quote because they had already quoted to another agent. I asked why couldn't they try another underwriter but the one they called was "the most appropriate" and they didn't want to use any others.

Even if there is only one light aircraft insurance underwriting syndicate (which seems unlikely), surely there must be differences in the brokers commissions and charges and service levels which make it worth getting more than one quote?

Am I missing something here?
