Looks like HRO is hiring *some* of the AES folks and remodeling the Milwaukee store (maybe others, too). AES' URL will forward to HRO after the end of July, when AES officially closes.
As to DXE, I haven't bought from them (yet) but they have an excellent reputation for customer service and quick shipping, unlike some of the other on-line stores. Yes, the prices may be a little high but they'll probably be around longer than others.
America needs a sense of humor...
