and the chances are anything you buy there is probably not going to be honored by the manufacturer for warranty. meaning if anything goes wrong you're going to have to get them to repair it and they will probably be using non original parts.
so would you rather spend $6000 knowing you have a new legit product from an authorised dealer with warranty, or pay $5500 after repairs for a device which has now probably got some third party parts in and no warranty?
