For what it's worth when we bought our TT new 4 years ago I was wheeling/dealing with 3 different sources (including rvwholesale). I didn't necessarily throw the other prices in their face but at least I knew what the other prices were... Seeing as how you have nailed down the make/model you are waaay ahead of the game.
We had prices from WI, IL and OH and were willing to pickup and vacation home from any of them which is exactly what we did for a week.
HOWEVER - I've also never once had the trailer in for warranty work nor cared but I can guarantee we would have been last in line at home dealer for warranty repairs. Maybe we were lucky with no major flaws but the small items I fixed myself and camped that weekend instead of dropping off and waiting for 2 weeks for someone to adjust the doors(?). There's not much on a trailer that I can't fix myself but that's just me. Depending on your comfort level and abilities, the local dealer may be worth paying a little extra$$ for peace of mind down the road.
good luck - EXCITING TIMES..!!
