Good job.
For a while, there was no rationale basis for buying from local retailers -
the price difference was just too great. But if it's even marginally
comparable, I'd encourage people to support their local retailers. You'll
get better service, reliable warranty treatment, and help people working
hard in an industry that all birders having an interest in keeping strong
locally.
