[iPad] Branch New at Apple store or Open Box at Bestbuy?

I bought my first MacBook laptop (cMBP 15") as an open box from best buy. Saved myself about $500 ($1332.00) and its nothing but awesome all day! My only complaint about buying open box from Best Buy is that depending on how long its been sitting on the shelf since it was first registered, you may loose some warranty. In my case, I lost about 2 months, leaving me with only 30 days of phone support vs. the 90 that normally come with a new device. I haven't needed to make any calls though so that's a non issue. As for the shortened 12 month warranty, again, no big deal considering the savings I received. If needed, I could spring for Apple Care for even more support coverage. I did try calling Apple to see if I could get them to roll the date back but that just wasn't going to happen. Oh well, I got a great deal and that's what I really wanted. I'm happy with my open box purchase.
