I do business with suppliers who produce or distribute equipment that I have confidence in and I recommend products that I would either use myself or that I think suits the diver who is buying it. I must admit that I do, on occasion, sell less than optimal gear to someone who insists on it - but only after I have recommended a better fit. No one is not all-knowing and no one has all the answers, but I think there are plenty of good shops who try to steer their customers in the right direction.
