The best thing to do is research what you want and then go shopping. I love Sweetwater's service and have bought many things from them, about $4000 worth that I can think of right now. One of the critical things to remember is Sweetwater automatically extends factory warranties to a full two years, Yes, I've had occasion to use it after having a recorder develop problems 1-1/2 years after purchase.
I agree 100%, if I have no opportunity to buy locally and online is the only way, I spend a few days scouring the Internet.
That starts with Google which leads to Retailers with Customers giving their reviews and of course Forums. Since I have been a member of many forums I get a bit of the picture from more reliable posters opposed to trolls. This research I do involves many hours of my time and so far it has paid off. Yes Sweetwater does have a great warranty included with purchase and that is a good reason to deal with them. However like you say take a Sales representative's advice with a grain of salt.
