Same dealer or different dealers?
I've often advised folks to shop for a bike shop first. Visit the bike shops in your area until you find the "right" one. You'll know it when you find it. Once you find a shop that you like buy a brand they carry at a price point that you're comfortable with and you'll never go wrong.
