Blockchain.info allows you to send transactions that don't fulfill the minimum fee.  If you are lucky they get confirmed within a day or two, but they may get stuck.

Fair enough, is there anyway to tell armory you wish to override it's recommendation? I understand it can (and probably will) get stuck, but, I still want to be able to do it.
This I want set my fee regrades of consequence.

Armory can't do this unless you modify your Bitcoin-Qt/bitcoind as well.  Since your local instance of Bitcoin-Qt is Armory's only peer, and it follows the fee rules exactly, any transactions that don't follow the correct fee rules will be DOA.  They don't get stuck or propagate slowly... they are dead the instant you send them.  There's no way around it without doing something else, like broadcasting the tx externally.  

Then, sorry for referring back to the same example again and again, how does Blockchain.info broadcast it without it's peers telling it "no"?
