Yes, we see that benefit, but I think you are missing the point that it doesn't work as well as it needs to. That's what I am seeing here. Ordering from some vendors/manufacturers IS a pain. There IS value in a one-stop shop but not if it doesn't do it the way you need it done. Thus my point, if a middle man mucks things up, it has no benefit. That cant really be argued no matter how much anyone tries to spin it. I'm also seeing no one gives a rats azz about $50, IF it was worth $50 IF it was working.

That said, once Portal is fixed, we could all tout the value-add. And that day will likely come. This thread would change its tone. Until then,,,,
