Why pre-order? To ensure that you get one, that's all. Obviously B&N is going to fill pre-orders first and available stock will likely be divvied up between their B&M locations. That could be 100 per store or 50 per store...or 2 per store. Or, worse yet, none in physical stores (beyond demo units) at launch.
So without knowing how many B&N stores are around you in Poughkeepsie, you might not be able to get one at launch.
Your comments are all fair points but it really sounds like you're seeking validation for your decision or rationalizing it out loud.
