Yes, indeed - do so.  In shopping for appliances we found 
the best prices by going to a dealer/distributor whose business is
primarily with builders and contractors, rather than a retail appliance store.  
All the same brand names, often for less than the same items *on sale*
at a retail store.   And yes, the comparable Whirlpool item, very
similar to the Sears version, for *FAR* less money.
