[b]First and foremost, I like to keep a local hobby store in business....just incase I need a screw and can't wait five days for mail. Second, I like to be able to talk to someone who knows something about what I am buying. I have had experiences where even the people I called at Horizon or Tower, didn't have a clue about a question. I would hate to have to call china for help. Last, I look a lot at build threads and pictures on the internet to see what others use and how they answer their problems.
