I live in SW Ontario myself, and when I decided to get into FTA I figured I needed a local contact because I was such a newbie. Unfortunately the only thing good about the three dealers I tried was the fact that if they had it on the shelf, I could take it home immediately. Without exception their lack of technical knowledge in such a highly-technical field was abhorrent, and I wound up wasting some bucks as a result. If I had to do it again, I would purchase by mail from an authorized dealer in the GTA.

(To be completely fair, part of the problem with these guys is that they don't want to appear knowledgeable because of the nature of the field. One guy, when I mentioned "91" to him, flat-out refused to talk to me any more!)
