I think that DSE does reasonably well technically. While the average 
saleperson isn't a techno guru, they usually have at least one person 
who can answer the questions of the technically informed well enough. 
If you were a complete novice you would be worse off. I'm happy that 
DSe try reasonably hard, given that their target product and audience 
is not super technical or component oriented. I do think it is sad 
though to see the components being scaled down.

What you really want is a shop with the motto of (I'm told) a UK car 
parts supplier.
"The answer's yes. Now, what's the question?"
