I shopped online for my first one,i checked some local shops but they wanted list on everything and put tax on top of that,i got most everything from a place in florida,free shipping and plane/accessories was a lot cheaper,if you have something that is warranteed it doesn't matter who you buy it from,warrantee is a factory thing.However,i have found a shop in dallas that is realistic in prices and i don't have to wait 3 days and the good thing is i can look at what i'm buying,tax still sux's tho.
