I am going to assume you are in the United States since you mentioned miles.
In the U.S. dealers have to sell at list price unless an item is discontinued, etc. Also if a dealer gets dropped by Festool they may unload their items at a discount since they no longer are worried about keeping Festool happy. But basically just about everyone will have the same price and usually free shipping. Some do have better service than others.
Also check "One and Done Festool USA". These are items that were returned for whatever reason, have been checked out and being resold at a discount. I consider this a crap shoot. Usually a good experience but not guaranteed. Items pop up one at a time, and when that item is sold, it rolls to the next item. Depending on the item, they may be there for days or just a few minutes. Discount used to be about 25%, but is now only 15-20% usually. It is like used cars. When the supply line hit some bumps, dealers ran out of inventory and everything was backordered. So the used stuff also disappeared. On Recon you have to make sure you are buying the current model (know the SKU of the current model). Otherwise you may end up with older inventory. When Festool makes a change, like changing to a Bluetooth battery or changing the systainer (case) the tool comes in, then that creates a new SKU and also old inventory. It may or may not make a difference to you, depending on what was changed. For example, the mini and midi dust extractors had Bluetooth added a few years ago, so if you are using a sander with a Bluetooth battery, switching the sander on will switch the extractor on automatically.
Keep an eye on Craigslist in your area. Welcome to FOG.
