Default Buying local dilemma

I've been itching for a new guitar for a while and am about to pull the trigger. My issue is where to purchase it. I went to a local guitar store and a very helpful salesman listened to my style of playing and to what I said I wanted in a guitar he and suggested several for me to try. I played for about 30 minutes and found one that suits me perfectly.

My dilemma is that I later contacted a respected dealer on the internet and the price is considerably less. I know we're not supposed to talk prices, but the difference is fairly signficant. I'm just an average middle class guy but it wouldn't kill me to pay the higher price to support my local business, but I have to look out for number one as well.

I really would feel guilty buying online, especially after the attention I was given. Anyone else ever felt this?
