Can anyone with knowledge, tell me the good points of purchasing from them? I see that the prices are cheaper but I don't really feel that I could trust them. At the same time, how about the service? If one part would break down, how could I get it fix without having to send it through mail which takes too long? All response are appreciated. Later, Hank
