Not speaking about DSE in particular but many times you can get a better price through a dealer because it is not good business for a company to undercut their dealers on price.

You will get the same level of customer service from DSE no matter where you buy it. Going through a dealer should net you a better price and as mentioned earlier in this thread timing your purchase to align with a future show they will be at will save you big $$$ on shipping.

DSE does not allow for thier products to be discounted. However you will find shipping deals through some vendors and we also give a small cash discount if we do not have to pay cc fees. you should get good support through any of their dealers, they don't just let anyone in become a dealer

very well said by many of you guys I know dse has a great support team regardless I have called a few times and been very helpful and by all means they're parts are second to none.
been doing a bit of research with the help and imput from you guys and yes I can get a bit of a better deal from a dealer / vendor and mostly only on shipping charges and I commend DSE for being loyal to they're dealers and not under cutting them.

thanks for the help
