ok, so i'm leaving town after a few years. gotten to know both LBSs well. They've each offered me roughly the same price on a new ride. I've got an offer from a friend who can get one from a shop I don't know that's about $300 less. Now, were I staying in town, I'd be inclined to buy from one of the LBSs for all the reasons people do so. But I'm not. So the question is do I save the $300 and take the out of town deal, or "do the right thing" and patronize one LBS even though i'm leaving?

oh, and the town i'm moving to has a terrible LBS (at least for the bike i'm looking at).

Thoughts?
