The exchange of information on this site is valuable and worthwhile. I think we all benefit from the interaction.
That being said, do not mis-interpret my remarks about price shopping. We all have to price shop, but in doing so, we have to look at what features we want, compare the features between various models, and then determine the best fit for our needs and budget. I cannot make that determination for anyone but myself.
I try to do as much research on my own as I can, which was part of my point. Part of that research might include calling ES and getting their take on things. Their expertise often adds value to my purchase. Part of that research might include a specific question on the board to see if anyone has had any experience with a particular piece of equipment or chemistry.
When I purchased my Proteam backpack, my independent research had narrowed it down to three models. I called Bryan and had a further discussion with him that helped me make a final choice. It was not a model on the ES web site, but one I knew they could get. I also knew what prices were available elsewhere. ES prices were competitive, so I placed the order with them.
