It depends if you go some place or just stay around home, If you stay around home buy local if you travel it doesn't matter where you buy because it will only break when you are traveling.
I think you nailed it: I will mostly stay local for the majority of my trips. Local meaning range out to around 300 miles. Maybe a trip or two from Pa to Colorado and Florida from time to time. I think you gave me my answer. There are a few dealers 1 hour west of me and 1.5 hours east of me. Both good. Note, Plus they always break on the road. Never home.
