My experience is that they salesperson is probably only interested in whatever PT bundle or MBox they are offering at the moment when it comes to Pro Tools. AFAIK my local GC - which is the largest of all the GCs in Ohio has had exactly one 11R in stock since they were introduced in 2008. It sat for about 3 months sold and was never reordered. HD, HDN or HDX? Forget it.
Given how cranky PT can be on consumer hardware I wouldnt blame a salesman for not pushing to hard to sell it only to have a irate customer return it.
* I've only been to the North Olmsted, Mayfield Heights, Montrose, Boardman and Toledo GC's. It's possible the Columbus or Cinci store is larger. The Nashville GC is about 30-40% larger. The KC GC is smaller.
