I think these days...for big ticket purchases like this, I'm going to be sticking with B&H and use their in store CC so I can get these items "tax free".
I was able to still get B&H purchases tax free till up to about 1-2 months ago when they finally started having to charge sales tax to my state.
But I save and tend to have cash in hand for any purchases I make and I applied for and got the B&H PayBoo card that has them cover the sales tax which is often considerable (almost 10% in my state).
My only complaint is WTF did B&H get the name "PayBoo" for their store card?!!
Ranks right up there with the worst and stupidest corporate branding names of things....ugh.
I like amazon, but if I can get tax free....I'm going there.
