Go to a local dive shop with the list of what you want along with the prices you got from LP. Maybe they can come close to what you will spend online. The benefit to the local dive shop (besides helping to keep them in business) is they will be able to service the gear they sell, some manufacturers void the warranty if purchased online, and you can meet some new dive buddies.
On a side note, see what happens when you bring in a broken regulator to a dive shop and say, "My regulator that I bought on Leisure Pro isn't working, can you fix it?"

Great advice. Online retailers in my understanding cannot sell below MAP. My LDS will sell at or below MAP. They let me try everything in pool too. Regular customers and employees at the shop have become the people I dive with. I'm glad to keep them in business.
