Code purgatory is a real thing for those who don't have a musician friend to take you to AP house and be offered a jumbo... To the OP i think the decision is whether you want to invest in the AP brand (bundle with code offshore etc), try the relationship building angle and get lucky, or have the watch you want tomorrow at a steep price. No wrong answer but i think for many the message from AP corporate is to "collect" the brand and not just RO.
