The factory outlet question comes up all the time. In a poll I ran about 4-5 years ago, close to 90% of people bought there Axioms from the Factory Outlet. You will be hard pressed to find any blemishes or nicks, if you do, they will be so small it won't matter.

All of my Axioms have come from the FO, except my current custom vinyl Ebony Pica's. You won't be unhappy. The extra 10% discount, on top of the 5%,will be worth it, assuming you purchase 5 items.
