I stay away from them - I have heard some horror stories. I just did a quick search and recent reviews seem positive. You will be dealing with Gray market stuff - if you are fine with it, you may end up saving some money.

In any case, if you decide to use them, proceed with extreme caution. Call them, confirm that the product is what you are looking for and is ad advertised. They will try to force you in to buying their warranty, which negates all the savings.

Good luck,
