If you like the midrange product as much as the high-end one i'd double check with other resources as it could be an attempt to upsell/make a sale(especially if they dont carry the product).

As for whether to shop onsite/online I'd probably base it on whether their good service and ability to get a product immediately is worth the price premium and the effort to go to the place. I feel like telling the shopkeeper upfront that you don't intend to purchase (even if you actually do) makes identifying a good shop easier as the better ones won't become pushy for you to buy or callous to you and your questions/requests
