I can't help with the OP question, but i'll ad my two cents.
Going to a farm and cutting your own tree is significantly better then buying from a lot, IMO.
A few of us end up making a day of it. Our tradition is to go out for a brunch buffet, fill up a flask with some whiskey and spend an hour or two scouring the farm for the right tree. Easily one of my favourite days of the holiday season. Great way to have a nice fun relaxing day with friends and/or family.
