Wanting some advice.

We are getting some shades and I noticed all the accessories we are getting through a dealer are significantly more than retail.

I.e Pico remotes are $70-$150 each instead of $40 via online retailers. Budget blinds are charging $40/remote.

If I want the Claro Wall Plates are all +$5-$8 each more than retail prices at Home Depot. Then added labor $70-80 per remote to install them on the walls.

Should we just buy them at retail and install them ourselves? Is there any difference for a pico remote between Serena, Triathlon or Palladiom? We are on a RA3 system.

Asking because the price discrepancies start adding up quickly. Tks.
