You're still gambling on the quality of the device you pull out of the box. And after a certain time the demo models wont be representative of the ones in boxes simply because they're usually abused by some customers (not all, but some folks could use lessons in personal hygiene).
And depending on the company returns to a brick and mortar store can be harder, they are generally stricter than websites when it comes to returns, even within the same company.

That's true I have seen demos that don't work well. I tend to go to different stores that have them, and look for one that is working well. I also saw some blue screen Voyages and waited till I finally saw one that had whiter screen, for my eyes anyway. I ordered from Amazon for the easier return, plus a prime deal. I did get the same white screen Voyage, fortunately. I also carry hand sanitizer with me, for shopping carts & touch screens.
I know some people have terrible hygiene.
I should also add that I did buy other things at Best Buy that day. If the screen wasn't right from Amazon on Prime Day, I would have tried again at Best Buy. I do support brick & mortar stores.
