Indeed.
I never quite saw the point of the one-size-fits-all concept that Husqvarna-Elux had in mind with that whole-line requirement. Discouraging specialization is hardly a way to improve the quality of service and depth of knowledge that your dealers will be able to provide.
A story: for years I shopped at a mega-OPE dealer. The sort of place with snowplows, JD compact tractors, more ZTR mowers than you know what to do with, you know the sort of place. In saws, trimmers and blowers they had Redmax, Shindaiwa, Stihl, Echo, JD, and Tanaka. And you guessed it, they don't know a damned thing about their saws except what the Stihl retail sales glossy brochure says. But they did sell all sorts of stuff, which I guess is good. Now if this is what Husqvarna had in mind as the ideal for OPE sales, then I submit that they completely misunderstood the intangible value that buying from a specialty dealer is supposed to provide to the customer.
