Shanem,

I'm not too worried about buying from an authorized dealer. I've purchased many items online, some from authorized and unauthorized. One of the items I purchased from an unauthorized dealer went bad. The product manufacturer honored the warranty without question. There is too much potential for bad-will if large companies start ignoring their customers need for warranty service.

As far as the T2 goes, I purchased mine from Home AutomationNet and have been very happy with the service. My T2's backlight died and a replacement was sent within 2 days. I am sure Etronixs is a great company, but I feel I have received just as good if not better service from Home AutomaionNet and the price was considerably less than Etronixs.

As always just my 2 cents.

Mike
