If all you want to do is get a better price, just become a Preferred Customer. It costs $10 for 6 months, but there are dealers who will even cover that cost for you if you look.
I signed up as PC under Pablo, even tho I could have gotten the free deal, cuz I figured that was my small way of supporting this site.
That would also let you get your feet wet with the company without committing to a dealership.
At this point, I'm impressed with both the products and the company. Time will tell if that changes.
