Tis a good analogy, and why I got Bud Light this weekend vs Guinness or Sierra Nevada (Jeep ate my Piggy Bank again)
Just like Jeep Parts...I like to support one particular vendor (who is semi-local and has been with us since the beginning) whenever possible, but have sourced some specialty parts elsewhere for a bit more $$. Come to think of it, I have gotten excellent, prompt service from ALL the Jeep parts vendors I have dealt with...must be a karma thing.
