I think the problem here is as much poorly-trained sales people than the practice of not disclosing pricing on the website. Smart sales people should be trained to recognize different types of buyers. From the sound of it, you are a buyer who knows exactly what he wants and just needs the price. Sales at our company would recognize this very early on and get you the info that you need minus the typical sales pitch. We specifically train our reps spot out buyers like you and handle them differently. For example, if a buyer sounds highly technical from the beginning(or if they use certain buzz words), the sales reps will transfer to me so I can have a more nuanced conversation.
