For those who closed brokered deals, what SDE multiple did you acquire for?

I'm looking at buying a manufacturing or distribution business in SoCal in the range of $600k - $750k SDE. After talking to many brokers and lenders, I keep hearing different "average" multiples. If you have experience closing a brokered deal for a company in a similar space/cash flow range, what multiple did you end up acquiring for?
