Sorry, not really what I mean.

They are no help in deciphering the multi-tiered madness.  It  
confuses them too.

I didn't mean they aren't good once they know what you are after.

Although, there have been times when explaining what I wanted was  
rather hard, if it was anything not involving a checkbox or cookie  
cutter answer.

It seems that their tiered sales system confuses their own sales  
people quite often.

I've seen systems that were sold in two tiers, but with different  
equipment, and a couple of times ordering them for clients or a  
company I was working for, they gave me pure hell trying to get parts  
in one that were sold in different tiers.

It probably depends on who you talk to.  Dell phone droids seem to  
have varied a lot over the years, at least that has been my experience.
