I'd say that that fact--a very important fact--is "baked into the loaf of" BOTH prices.

What I was referring to in my "baked in the loaf" comment was the Money Back Guarantee.
If you buy from Sweetwater, if you try it and you do not like it, you send it back--which is where I came in on this. Sweetwater's huge customer base and excellent reputation make my default recommendation a no-brainer. IMHO.
I did not know that there was a Massdrop in the works but as I understand that it is group-discount pricing for people who already are sure what they want, and AFAIK the Massdrop business model as I understand it does not allow for tire kicking.
I assume that m920s bought through Massdrop have the same 5-year transferable warranties as m920s purchased from anywhere else.
I think the issue here is MBG.

That massdrop price is very attractive if you know what you're purchasing. OTOH, if Sweetwater was a brick and mortar store, I would not have posted anything about massdrop.
And so I have personal experience that perhaps one reason for their amazing success is not predatory pricing, but rather customer service that many brick and mortar enterprises of all kinds could learn a lot from.
There are only two reasons I can see how you can grow from one sound guy with a VW bus to one of the largest employers in that part of Indiana:
(1) You make a pact with Satan, or
(2) You provide customer service that goes the extra mile, all day long.
Of course, #2 is possible only if you constantly reinvest in the business, share your good fortune with your employees and the community, and make it as humane a work environment as possible, consistent with the Deming Principle of Continuous Improvement.
OK, where's my free guitar?
JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(But if anyone is tempted, one of those NLA made in Connecticut nylon-string Ovations would be just dandy!!!)
