I had a look at Starless for the first time at the weekend at YSS (Dales)
Interesting stuff, some not stocked by other shops and its mobile, so I will occasionally get a broader choice and different views as and when our paths cross. But its only one option and we all know where well established 'fixed' shops are located and when they are open and know we can nip in any time for a chat, advice and gear.
Its a free market and lets not forget the internet also increasingly rules.
I buy off this quite regularly from well known cave shops well away from my London home
