I'd certainly go to Bear first. I've spoken with Ted in the past, and he's been both helpful and knowledgeable.
I think people are being a bit too worried about ALPA's decision. While I think they're making a mistake, I don't think it's that big a deal. I've always preferred talking to someone like Paul Slotboom on the phone to reading an announcement on the internet.
I bought my first ALPA gear from Badger Graphics when they were still a dealer, and have dealt with Optechs more recently. I think the combination of a good dealer, and the feedback here from users will be quite sufficient.
