I've purchased from both RPP and RCP in the past with great service as well. It's a tough choice to make whether or not to support a small business and pay more or buy from a larger company and save some money.
I kind of look at it like this...what can the company I'm ordering from provide me better than another? If it's a part that may require more detailed information, it's worth the extra $ from a smaller, more customer oriented business. With something like a RTR or kit that is sold at numerous dealers, the cheapest dealer with reputable service gets my money...unless my LHS can get it for me faster than buying online.
With the economy as it is these days, most folks are pinching pennies. If I'm paying more for the same product from one vendor over another, I better have a good reason other than to be charitable. I don't know about you guys, but my wife would kick my ass if I was constantly trying to support small companies and paying a lot more than I needed to for common parts/vehicles.
