I don't even bother to look at what the local companies are offering anymore, I couldn't care less.
If I want something I go straight overseas, no hassle, in stock, cheaper even with shipping and GST and exchange rate difference, its quicker shipping from the other side of the world than from the eastern states. If I'm ready to spend on gear I expect some enthusiasm not sullen indifference.
Hell hath no fury like a customer with a fistfull of cash scorned.
