I shopped hard recently (even checking with a dealer in Cleveland), and
bought from Baierl.  While there were large initial price differentials,
once the package (including tradein) was negotiated all the bottom lines
came out about the same.  Baierl had the options and additions (real
Ziebart, not dealer applied tar, etc) I wanted.  They have just opened
a separate Honda service area with good equipment, pleasant waiting
area (with free donuts and coffee), and as far as I can tell after one 
visit to fix the minor initial assembly goofs, good service.
