Neal,
When looking at new equipment, I will reach out to colleagues at suppliers and universities to see what they have. I also try to get to a conference with a show to see a bunch of different suppliers all at once. Also, old school buying guides come in handy where I can find them.

Since my company is in the business of providing materials analysis solutions, equipment and consumables I would be interested in knowing where members go for solutions and equipment? (How do you avoid going to the same provider not knowing what other options are available out there.)
