I have a local install shop where I live and a remote shop 30 miles away closer to my work.

local shop's first opening to do install on my car is 2 weeks away.
remote shop can give me a spot within a few days.
All I want is a quality install and I can wait 2 weeks but why not enjoy the install sooner than later. But for example if local shop will do superior job I rather wait for them.
Given all this information, is one a clear winner? Is there enough information? Should I toss a coin?
local shop has
- a nice head unit and speaker display everything works
- they have "eye candy" to look at while at the store
- store front is very small
- store front is clean, i.e. you could bring foreign dignitaries in there if you like
- prices they charge are "set", so i.e. head unit install is exactly this much, amp install is that much
remote shop has
- 4-5 times as bigger customer area
- shop has overall more of a in-the-works feel to it - it's clean but not show-worthy
- pricing for installation is more labor based (i.e I'll charge you for X hours or labor)
- head unit and speaker display has holes in it where head units should be, it's working but "in the works"
- they share their space with a towing company
