Simple answer is; there is pretty much no difference. Prices are very tight, and little or no flexibility, in terms of offers or discounts, even if you buy direct from Pennine. You may be able to get some bed skirts thrown in, but, otherwise, you aren't going to be getting anything off, either way.
Pennine take a lot of orders at the shows. When I was with them in February, at the NEC, they were taking orders months in advance, so you could have a bit of a wait.
I suspect the dealers are going to be in a similar situation, as they tend to not keep loads in stock, but always worth a word with them, just in case. Whoever you buy from, February, during / after the NEC is the worst possible time to be buying, as Pennine's order book will be rammed. The very best time is September / October, just before the Autumn NEC show, as things are getting quieter, towards the end of the season, but the post October show rush has not, yet, kicked in. I advised someone to do this, last year, as they were planning on waiting for the October 2015 show. They live a similar distance away from Pennine, but went there, and got the first of the 2016 models, and in a really quick timescale. definitely worth considering.
