You can not really compare selling music eqpt which is a bit of niche market (thats in and been in decline with larger competition for a smaller market share) in comparison to the largest online retailer for the IT/computer market that serves products for every business in the country and most households. Newegg also has multiple warehouses in different states (west coast, midwest, east coast). I don't even see how its close and no way they could have a larger national presence.

I personally get better prices from some west coast stores and have not used Sweetwater much in quite a few years. I get most annoyed at their phone calls every couple months. I have driven right by there place multiple times in Indiana,just usually in a rush and never stop.
Have never brought from Newegg; their prices aren't really any better than Provantage or Amazon for the stuff I buy computer-wise. Also never gotten a phone call from Sweetwater unless I had left a message for my sales engineer (Brendan).
