BTW B&H gives superb personal service and advice.

b&h is an online seller, unless you happen to live near there.

that does not mean they are not a brick & mortar store that gives excellent personal service and advice.

it means that the vast majority of their customers do not shop *in* the store.

it's also a hassle to buy there because it's so crowded.

they are also the exception. most stores are not anything at all like b&h, which is why most of them are gone.
