i've been pricing bcds online and at shops around town. of course i've found the best deals online (same exact equip, mind you)... about two-fiddy less. the only re-tort my lds manager could give is that the manuf. will only validate the lifetime warranty if i buy it from an authorized dealer.
ok. but, the difference between online vs. lds is half the price of new gear anyway.
do i take a stake in the fact that tech gear is built to last and go with my gut - purchase online? or play it safe with a warranty that will most likely not benefit me, becuase by the time i call 'em on it it's going to be time for me to get new gear anyway?
has anyone had a similar battle of financial practicality vs. idealogical warranties?
