Still debating on a few last minute options. I can get the Sony for $2275 CDN of a friend of a friend (for sale on sonystyle.ca site for $2799)

can be had for $2188 through a local shop in the area. Curious as to what everyone thinks about comparing the two. I realize the Sony is expensive at $2800, but it is a very nice machine for $2200. Let me know what you think.
