Only issue might be... as I found out a few years ago... was that the 
Laptop we got from JL that had developed a fault had to go back to JL 
then they had to pack it up and send to Apple, who repared it at their 
leisure, sent back to JL and then you have to pick it up.. Took quite a 
while!

Then my daughters iPhone purchased from the Apple store with Apple care 
(had a good student discount on it) - when she poured methylated spirits 
on it (dont ask.... a Glastonbury mishap) we took it in to the Genius 
who just replaced it there and then for a new one..

I guess it depends on how quickly you want it fixed versus the cost saving
