I know I'm late to this whole thread. I recently purchased some equipment from LP. I did my research first and went to all my local dive shops. Some of the shops were very helpful and told me the pros and cons of buying online, one shop owner grew devils horns after I mentioned online shopping. LOL But in the end your the consumer. You spend your hard earned cash to whom ever you wish. I can live with the fact of buying a BC online. I'm an experienced aircraft mechanic and know what to look for if I have a hint of component failure or any other problems. In most cases a shop does not sell BC's or regulators on a constant basis. And I'm sure if you bought something online who is to say when you bring it in to get serviced there not going to ask were you purchased you item? So you tell them it was a gift from a family member. Then it's on them to sell you a warranty or just service the equipment and you go on your merry way.
