Could just be that he doesn't carry Webras... and wanted to sell an engine. Its unfortunate that some hobby shops will get into such "competitions" where the bash a product just because they don't sell it. In my opnion (and experience) the better hobby shops won't do that. I've had an excellent hobby shop tell me to buy from the other guy to get a product he didn't carry that would better suit my needs. (you know which shop I kept going back to...)
