Thanks for the suggestion, I already tried that.
In the end, it was most important to me to have a local and cooperative dealer with whom I could establish a relationship (warranty). Initially, they were not the most competitively priced. Stern negotiations got them to be on par with the other local dealers (and far below even the most aggressive price found online).
I guess I could give them one more shot right as I take delivery of the new unit, to see if they are hungry for a nice trade at the time, but walking away is not an option at this time (they have my deposit).
