Grafted vines still have suckering.

We're not familiar with anything but own rootstock vines, but I'm under the impression that grafted vines don't have the same suckering problems. Is that true?

I will need about 500-600 vines total.  Nova Vines will sell small quantities but they do not provide Pinot Noir on 110R unless one orders 500 vines of the same root stock and clone combination. I am considering planting the 110R root stock next winter and then field grafting the clones I want the following year.  Any comments on this? And, does anyone have a recommendation of who to use for the grafting and how the overall cost will compare to just planting grafted vines on whatever root stock is available?
