It seems like there are almost as many people who consult the forum after they buy their gear as there are who do so beforehand. I don't agonize much over purchases in general, but I certainly don't do so after the fact. It's pretty difficult to buy bad gear these days; it's pretty easy to get a bad deal, however. At a glance I'd guess that you did neither.
Here's a good place to compare prices:
LeisurePro.com
Honestly when people consult/advertise what they bought/paid after the fact, I suspect a little bit of boasting is involved, as they are already convinced they got the best deal possible and just want to show off a little bit.
