Default OT: Argosy Console Competitor / Non Profit Discount?

This a little off topic. I'm interested in purchasing a console and have been looking at argosy. Does argosy have a competitor or give non-profit discounts?

for a discount you should talk to the manufactures directly

I can recommend KK Audio in the LA area
Sound Construction from Nashville has a good rep
there are some others

FWIW, I own an Argosy desk and I have been very very happy with it. I did pay more than I had hoped for originally, but it has been a worthwhile investment since it looks and feels so professional. I've seen many other cheaper options that I don't think look nearly as professional. My clients spend so much time at the desk while we are editing and mixing, that I am glad it looks as good as it does.

I had a problem with the arm rest area stripping out and they replaced the part for me including shipping. I would definitely buy from Argosy again in the future.

I have an Omnirax desk which has served me well through various mixer / control surface configurations.
