Re: Lelit PL41TEMD vs Breville BES900 or perhaps something else
To an extent, but larger o/s suppliers may well have more stable (more predicable) demand (and definitely shorter re-supply times), meaning they can keep lower stock levels, and therefore lower costs of financing working capital. That said, I dont think theres anything wrong with asking a general question about relative prices.
If Aust coffee hardware retailers were actually carving out super normal profits on imported gear, theres nothing stopping some budding local entrepreneur with a bit of cash behind them and an appetite for risk from competing and driving margins down. Its not as if they are up against Rupert Murdoch.
BTW I have no vested interest in this debate (in either direction).
