The store! For sure. There are so many times I thought I knew 'just' what I wanted to only find it was bigger, smaller, I didn't like the handles, etc...or have something 'catch' my eye and fall in love.
I would ask for people's opinion on SA's, and call ahead to make sure they will be there. A good SA makes all the difference!
A good one will show you anything and everything you want...and ask to see the 'book' of upcoming releases, always fun to look through.
Either way congrats and let us know how how it goes
