    I wouldn't go that far....... When you buy from a store you are paying for certain perks. Shipping price wasn't included on aquatraders. And you are also paying for the ability to return the item if it breaks w/ out incurring additional shipping costs. LFS's stand behind their products and have no problem swapping out bad units. This saves you the time and money of returning to an online vendor. As a Charter Member you would've also saved 10% since they are a sponsor.

    Example: I just calculated the price for shipping to my house from aquatraders. A whopping $16.75. That raises the price quite a bit. Now include the cost of returning the item (a lot of vendors leave you to foot the cost) and you have spent the same if not more than buying from an LFS. It also never hurts to shop around or ask if a store will match or beat a competitors price.
