A supplier that sells against you online will erode margin no matter how good the machine is. Ask who owns the territory and whether factory-direct e-commerce is allowed in your region.

Visit the factory or a regional warehouse before you sign. The dealers who grow fastest already know the production line, the parts desk, and the training library.
