Hello everyone, this is my first post, but I've already read a ton on the forums, and have decided to go with the classic peak lapel. It is an outdoor wedding around sunset, with an evening reception, so a black tux seems in order. (Don't worry, we have a tent so rain won't ruin our day).
In terms of where to get a decent tux, I'm confused by the massive price differentials in online stores.
For example, here is a Ralph Lauren (Polo) tux that someone on a thread recommended for $1500 (which is more than I want to spend).

However, here is another Ralph Lauren tux (SoHo) from a discount online retailer for only $350. http://www.finetuxedos.com/Pages/Pac...Lauren+Tuxedos
Can someone explain what the difference is, and why I would be an idiot to buy the second? It looks very tempting.
Also if anyone can recommend alternate sources online for a decent quality tux in the $400-800 range, it would be appreciated. I currently live abroad and will have to return about two weeks before the wedding, and want to have it waiting for me so I can get it tailored right then.
Thanks in advance everyone!
