Rikki, 
I’m one of the lucky customers of FrankieV at Audioworks Ct.  He’s less than a 2 hour ride from home.  I started visiting his store somewhere around 2006 and always tried before I bought.  I may have left his store once without buying the same day and that was only because I had to sell my Pa3x first to help pay for the Pa4x. 
I’m glad to hear it is proving to be a bit better than the s950.  
That’s something I really miss about the city life, being able to just drop into a store and check things out.  I  used to have a 5 minute drive from one of the biggest  pro stores in Sydney. Still a customer of theirs after 30 years, now it’s 3 hours each way. Haha. ( actually not laughing, I’m crying)
