Buying a new boat

I'm looking at 2012's and I've narrowed my boat search to 3 models. MB 21TWB, Tige RZR and SAN 210. I would rather not spend the extra money on the SAN, but it's the only dealer close to me (1 hour away). The closest MB or Tige dealer is more than 12 hours away. How important is a local dealer??

I'm sure I can't go wrong with any of these 3 boats, but would 1 stand out from the others as far as performance with only factory ballast (surf and wakeboard wakes). I don't have the option of test drives. Thanks.
