Default Price Difference On Thundermax?

I'm going to order the Thundermax ECM (full with closed loop). The company that makes them sells for almost $200.00 more than an authorized dealer sells them. If you buy from an authorized dealer, will you still get the support from the manufacturer? Why the big difference in price?

Thanks....

Only my opinion, but yes, I think you will find that you will have no problems with support from Thunder-Max. They have all the latest software and firmware upgrades / updates on their website. And, also, for what it is worth, I don't see many people have a great deal of problems with them. I am planning to buy a unit soon, with AutoTune and will probably use eBay - ($668.95 right now, whatare you looking at?)- and they are getting cheaper everyday for me in Aussie dollarsas the US dollar goes down

The support should be exactly the same no matter where you bought it. I believe they have the price set higher than resellers because they really don't want to go the hassle of retail sales. Some manufacturers won't even sell retail, no way, no how.
