Best sources for Kyoceras and Outback controllers?

I am planning to install two Kyoceras 130s and an Outback MX60 MPPT. Any advice as to where to purchase,in terms of support and prices, would be helpful. Thanks.
(Currently anchored behind the reef in Ensenada Honda, Culebra, Puerto Rico - is the internet wonderfull or what?)

Freight might be an issue, but Affordable Solar in AZ has been a good source for me. www.affordable-solar.com

These guys rock: Electricity from the sun since 1 . They're in Flagstaff and are very experienced and knowledgable and seemingly without limit to their patience when describing how to hook panels into a Xantrex monitor so that one doesn't have to spend the extra $20 for the LED readout on the MorningStar controller. Not that I have any firsthand experience with them, mind you.
