Anyone know anything about this site? I hate to go outside of my LDS, but this is $200 less than the shop with their 10% discount. Suunto “Vyper” Air/Nitrox 2 Gauge Computer Console | SuuntoWatches.com

Have you verified this company is an Authorized Re-Seller ?
We're not an authorized dealer, but we do price match +5% and we have a 24 month warranty on the item. Having owned that model (and many other Suunto's), my personal vote is to go for the deal (with us of course since you should be able to get the great price AND a warranty through us 
). Here's why:
I've had problems twice with Suunto's. One ongoing problem is replacing the battery. The model you're looking at has a user-changeable battery, so that isn't actually even an issue. The other issue is servicing should something go wrong. Again, with us you have 2 years where we'll deal with that issue should it arise. The one time I sent a computer back to Suunto (via an authorized dealer where I purchased it), they lost it and I had to fight up the ladder to get any kind of replacement. So in my personal experience, having the factory warranty didn't really mean a thing. Others may have different experiences.

I recently sent back a (just) out of warranty Gekko to Suunto, that I bought from a LDS (authorized dealer) when my depth sensor started flaking out. A month later they sent back a brand new Zoop to replace it.
One of my dive buddies has had similar good fortune with Suunto's customer service when they had a computer issue in the past.
