As many Europeans I'm not used to buy from catalogues, and I will not do it in future. I want to touch and feel a certain piece of equipment, and if it's that, then it's that an no other. And, I agree to pay for the dealer's service. 2. I feel it a little cheap to press the dealer of your trust for a few bucks when you spend several hundreds or thousands at the same time. 3. Take into account all the M6, R8, and lens complaints during the last few months - just within the LUG. I think, no dealer (and specially not the dealer of your trust, or a LUG or LHSA friend) deserves such a fate.
