It doesn't matter. I don't need to know the discounted price ABC sprinkler gets versus XYZ Sprinkler. Just looking for list prices. If I get differing info I'll use the highest. These estimates are used for funding of the project so if they get more than what's needed they usually just spend it on their "wish list" items. No harm done. Like I said, I'm not trying to price it out to bid on the project.

Different discounts are given to different contractors. I am sure the more you buy the better the break. So even if you got info from a couple on here, it could still be miles different.
