I choose them on the advice of a friend who had bought a whole system from them. I experienced only minor dificulties (you forgot to mention that customer service is not avaliable during lunch hour). The order was late comming through (something about being shipped to the wrong place) and the carrying case was the wrong color (they did exchange it). But the price was great and saved me about $150. To make my point, I agree that you get what you pay for. If you are willing to put up with the hassles of buying mail order you can get a product for a better price. If the service was great the price would not be. I found Best Price Video an acceptable mail order house and will use them again when I am ready. Some advice - if you buy from a mail order house always use a credit card. You can stop payment easily and you can refuse the order if they should send it anyway. I have never had any trouble unless I sent out cash. Best Price does charge 2% extra if you use a card but it is well worth it. cbdkc1!tjs
