Putting my name down at AP House vs Boutique?

Looking to try on some ROs of different sizes and colours and put my name down.

Is it better to do so at a AP House vs Boutique? Both brand owned. I have a friend who's friendly with a sales associate at the Boutique and says he's a nice guy.

I'm assuming that I can only really choose one since all the brand-owned stores are linked. Would it be better to go to the AP House though as they dictate allocations? Not sure whether it's an advantage to the boutique and say "X recommended you" etc.

You’re in HK, I’d do one of the two AP Houses over the boutiques

Try but be ready for deception.

AP Houses over AP Boutiques every day of the week. Of course that will all change when they open the AP Ranch here in Santa Fe. It's slated to be 5 sections (3200 acres) with horse trail rides, roping, branding and other lost arts of the West. There will be an AP Adobe where tequila will be served by a roaring piñon fire. Guests are advised to check their rooms for snakes before retiring (only during the summer, spring and fall) and their beds for tarantulas, no scorpions here.

No petition necessary, it's just the natural next step for AP. Like hoping that a Starbucks will open in your neighborhood.
