Ordered a New Digidesign Command 8 from Sweetwater

Sweetwater tuns into Saltwater to me.  They will say that they have them (products not in stock) so you will place your order fine,  then they say it will be hear on such a date yet that seems to not be the case most of the time.  Then two weeks later they get it.  I am finding that Sweetwater try to get you to commit to placing an order yet they dont have the item.  I am also finding that they dont really have the best prices you can do better at other stores like Guitar Center, Sam Ash, Musicians Friend.
