Which is why shopping for a good LBS should probably be the deciding factor.
Here in R-Town, the local Giant dealer is a store to be avoided. I bought my first bike there--a Giant, BTW--and won't ever buy a bike there again.
I'd buy another Giant though, if it was the right bike at the right price, I just wouldn't buy it from them.
