For an item like an OTA I was willing to risk the warrantee as I could almost buy a second scope for the price difference. It depends on the risk of the item being faulty. Electronics worry me more and I would probably be more likely to buy local for more risky items.

I am tempted to do the exact same thing here, it's no different in Europe and I could use that extra cash for the mount.
Although some dealers are becoming very competitive it is still not even close.
