Typically with ordering you'll put down a deposit, wait 6-8 weeks or so, then pick up once it gets in. Tell the dealer to do a good PDI before you go down to pick it up. When you get there, do an even better one. Spend the night in it and give it a good workout. When I ordered I didn't think twice about driving a couple hundred miles to finalize a deal with the dealer. I was prepared to go much further than that. When factoring in travel costs, the best price I had was up in Michigan, but my dealer matched it.
Why in the world would warranty work be a consideration? Most issues can be caught and fixed during PDI. If there's a local dealer then there's someone to perform warranty work. If there's multiple then there's multiple options. The whole idea that dealers cater to their own customers is a bit of a cliche. That may be true for some, but definitely not all. Countless times we see people complain how their unit sits in line at the dealer even though they purchased it from there. A lot of dealers don't care who comes first since they're going to get paid in the end anyway.
