Hmmm... you guys have to PAY for this gear? Why not just find it on the bottom of your favorite dive site like I do?
I'm the type that researches the purchase of all my dive equipment... only buy small stuff on a spontaneous basis. I look for the best price (within reason... manufacturer's warranty, etc., included), but am willing to pay my LDS a bit extra since I want to support them.
Also agree with Uncle Pug that masks are something that probably are best bought in person (until you've settled on a particular model as I have). I've purchased two on-line based on recommendations from others and they turned out to be shelf sitters.
