Direct Buy seemed a little sketchy to me, if you have a large project it may save you some cash, but when it is impossible to get any pricing information from them prior to joining who knows.
I would think showing their pricing would be an incentive for joining.
We ended up buying this model over the net from ABT
KitchenAid Great service and fast delivery.
It almost killed 3 friends and myself getting this upstairs into the kitchen, on a pallet it weighed close to 700lbs, when we pulled out the old Sub Zero we took off the doors, wheeled it out to the deck off our kitchen, and launched it over the railing into the yard, much easier
