Marc,

I think you will find that B&H has improved a lot since you last dealt 
with them. I have been shopping with them since 1985, when I lived in 
Florida--we had a couple of local stores, but the service was 
indifferent and the prices high, so there was no reason to patronize 
them. Since then, I have shopped at B&H while living in New Jersey, then 
Belgium, Switzerland and Holland. I find their ordering process on the 
web excellent, and they have always accomodated any special wishes I had 
(such as shipping stuff to my uncle in Florida so that I could smuggle 
it back to Europe myself etc.).

No, you will not get personalized service, but you will competent and 
accurate order execution, a great selection and an absence of 
bait-and-switch tactics so common in other places (especially the ones 
that make you call them to confirm the order).
