Looking for a Stradic in 2500 or 3000. BPS has 10% off for military right now so I could get the 2500 for $180 (3000s out of stock). Question is will I be able to find an in-stock, substantially better deal on black Friday? Or should I pull the trigger on a sure thing?

Dunno if the Stradic will be on sale at TW - but they offer a 10% military discount year-round. I sent a copy of my DD-214 (USAF 1980-1984) in two years ago and they've honored it on every order except special sales.

 

"Military Discount

Tackle Warehouse is honored to be able to provide our U.S. military service men and women with a 10% discount on all orders. We will ask that a current, valid military ID be sent or a copy of your DD214 if you are no longer serving, for verification purposes (please blackout or 'redact' any sensitive information as needed)."

Shimano usually excludes their products from sales due to (map) msrp pricing.

Or you can find a good used one from flea market.
