I bought my Amiga 500 from them 2 years ago. They are at least legitimate,
if slightly inefficient. I called them 2 weeks after my order for a 
status report, and the phone guy had forgotten to take my phone number
for a verification call, which they required before shipping on credit
card orders. Of course, I was living in Connecticut at the time, which 
is about a three hour drive from Brooklyn, not a 20 hour airline flight.
If I were you, I would consider it worth it to spend about 10-15% more 
for a local dealer. All in all, Montgomery Grant would be all right, though.
A repectable company, very high profile.
