I totally agree it as important to find a good dealer as finding the best machine for you. The dealer needs to have your back, be available when you have problems, etc. Staff is equally important, ie how does the owner treat the staff? Has the staff been trained to help customers? Do they offer classes on your machine, especially one on one time? They may sound like too much to some dealers, but it is your $ and you deserve the best you can afford for your "creative" times.
