Two words.. Alto Music ( in Middletown, NY ).
The ONLY store I go to any more when I want to demo / buy a board or equipment. The KB manager is super friendly ( but not to the point where he bugs you ), knowledgable, and has a vast array of boards ( even a G70 and PA1X ) right there on display.

None of the other stores within a hundred miles ( been to just about all of 'em ) compare at all, including the big chains.

Never much haggling required either. Their prices are consistently better than anyone else around, including all the net stores I've checked out.
