I don't think he's probably thought about MC enough to already have C options. It was a huge step for him to even bring it up. I would go ahead and do the homework. He doesn't need to know about that right now. Find the three you like.
If he brings it up with specific C, then take a look at his list but you do get input on who you go to. If he doesn't bring it up in a reasonable amount of time, then you can approach it. Something like...I really appreciate your willingness on the MC subject. I don't know if you had anyone in mind but I was thinking that the last one we went to is a little too far. I got some referrals. Take a look at these and let me know who you'd like to make an appt with.
It was such a leap for him to bring up the subject that he will probably appreciate your input. And as you said, it's a 180 for you to tell him what you want.
