The general opinion about BD seems to be that if you know how to put a bike together, and know what size bike you need, it's a valid option. If you have never worked on bikes, or really need to get properly fitted, it's not such a good deal.
Some LBS won't put them together for you if you buy over the internet, some will. You'd want to check with the local shop to make sure.
Good luck with the clipless pedals
