Anyone have any recent experience with MicroCenter out Powers Ferry,
north of 285?  We used them some years ago with good results, but it's
been too long to necessarily draw current conclusions.  Used to be
good prices, excellent service.  We're coming 100+ miles if we do buy
in Atlanta, so reliability is a key, but price is also a major
consideration.  Experiences would be appreciated.  How do they compare
with Hi-Q which seems to be the favorite here so far?

Thanks,

Chris
