    Its not really location, it's the markup the store uses. Your $2000
    price you posted means nothing on its own. 

    Competition (read: Lots of people close together-like N.Y.) should
    have lower prices. But if they have to worry about people telling
    them its "this" quality when its "that" quality. 

    In a typical chain store in Iowa, they'll pay more I'm
    betting-markup. 

    If you're more comfortable at home, go shopping with 2 or 3
    independents, not chain store. They'll be more competitive.
