Sweetwater sends you a download access code or serial number and you register and download from PG Music, your downloads are in your account just as if you bought the product direct. Pricing is sometimes set by the maker and sometimes not. Sweetwater may have a special arrangement that allows them to sell at a lower price? There could be any number of reasons. If it is apples to apples as far as the package you are buying then by all means take the lower price.

This is how Sweetwater works for almost all if not all of the software they sell. They do not host the downloads, you are buying a serial number or access code that the manufacturer provides to Sweetwater to sell.

My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
