Totally different industry...same issue.

At work we've been having a big go-around with two vendors. One selling Dell, one selling Compaq. Both good brands of computer servers, we're a "Compaq" shop (easier to keep spare parts, etc...four hour response times are meaningless to us, better for us to keep spare parts and let the cheaper next-business-day service plans replace the spares then). But we're willing to buy other brands for good reasons.

Dell is currently bidding a system at 50% the cost of the Compaq equipment.

That's such a huge difference, we keep going back to them with questions, asking Compaq to re-bid, etc. It's looking like Dell just has a phenomonal deal on some equipment they want to move, but had it been in the ball park, say 20% less, we would've pulled the trigger 2 weeks ago. For 50% off, we keep asking ourselves "What are we missing here, since apples to apples shouldn't be that big of a difference!" We're talking the difference between $15,000 and $30,000...hate to give up that much money, don't want to be snookered either.
