My brother works at sweetwater. From what he tells me, their warehouse has better gear (particularly guitars), as their standards of inspection and whatnot are very rigorous so if anything isn't perfect, their warehouse gets rid of it, and that piece of gear likely ends up with another reseller with a bit lower standards such as Zzounds. I don't know how much of that applies to other instruments like synths, but sweetwater takes their quality control very seriously from what I'm told. A lot of famous artists and their road crews, even international acts, shop at sweetwater because of their reputation for being a cut above the rest.
