I couldn't agree more.

And on another note. Trying to compare a tire store to a dive shop is like comparing McDonalds to a Dive shop. McDonalds isn't going to let you take a bite before buying, and a tire shop isn't going to mount & balance your tires & let you take a spin around the block. But many dive shops will let you try gear out before buying, especially if they have a pool.
