I did the same thing "Chainring" suggested and asked "Is that the best you can do?". It caused my LBS to lower the price of my Jekyll from $1250 to $1165. Maybe not a big price break, but since the bike had to be special ordered, I thought it was reasonable. I wouldn't enjoy the bike as much if the purchase was a painful protracted negotiation with the only guys who can fix the hydraulic brakes.
