Where to go?

[mnof1000v]

I was just looking through some of the complaints on Cynj's thread below, and I began wondering where I might find myself shopping for gear in the coming weeks. I've spent most of my money on gear in North Conway, New Hampshire at the EMS in the center of town. That location, while nice when I'm in NH, is totally inconvenient to me now.

So, I'm looking for some advice. Where might I want to look? There's another EMS in Stoughton (or Taunton, I'm not sure which), and also a new one in Plymouth, but I'm unfamiliar with the staff of each.

Has anyone done some shopping at either location? Or has anyone shopped somewhere else in Central/Southern Mass at a location with highly knowledgeable staff?
