I guess with my pro shop guy that loyalty counts. He just sold me a Gravity Shift for 190 cash out the door, grips and slug included. And for what it's worth, he's in NY suburbs. I've been going to him for the better part of 8 years and do 2-3 balls per year, so maybe he takes better care of me than most.
And, as far as "me the consumer", I wouldn't trade his expertise for the world.
