What would you consider extremely high?
Things to remember, shops have overhead, the build and staff are not free, warranty returns are not free, and sometimes not covered, but the shop looks after you, at least the shops I've bought or worked at.
As well most brands have minimum sale prices, which authorized resellers have to go by. Online, you are at risk. Local, you have a place to bitch if something goes wrong.
I'm not saying don't buy on line, well I am, but if you do, don't expect a shop to jump at the chance to install it for you, and if they don't, or wont, don't bad mouth them, they have very valid reasons for not.
