As spoiled as I was with the Tustin store, the population in LA would burn through the sales inventory there. Just moved to Kansas City and the store here is still fine, but it's about a quarter the size.

Apple refurbished means new, right?

Pretty much, Apple will go over it and refresh whatever needs to be addressed to make it like a new device. Apple refurbished devices also receive a 1 year Apple warranty and can have Apple care added.

Is there a reliable 'all in one' USBC dongle that works with this to add some ports?

Vital that it doesn't rely on custom software or overheat.

Gotta give a HUGE TU! I just got the (midnight) 15.3" M5 with 24GB RAM and 1TB SSD for $1349!

Looks like they have a price mistake on this one (the 13" with the same RAM/SSD config is the same price).

I just went to pick it up and they're now realizing there's a huge price mistake on this one. If you're interested, I'd jump on it NOW. Make sure to bring screenshots of what you are ordering so they know exactly what you are expecting to get. It looks like that SKU (in my case) ties to the 16GB/1TB model. They are honoring it for me - they just have to wait for it to arrive. But if anybody is hoping to snag the same deal I did, I'd jump on it TODAY - the manager said he is going to call corporate to let them know the prices/SKUs are wrong on some of these. It was a confusing mess for them - looking in different sections of their system they saw 3 different things... 15/M5/16/1TB, 13/M5/24/1TB and 15/M4/24/1TB.

The manager was awesome about honoring it though. I don't mind waiting a week for that much of a discount.
