What are you two talking about? Don't ask for a bid unless you are ready to buy? What if Dealer B is double the price? How would you know the price before you ask them for the price? How do you know they have no chance of getting the job unless you ask?
Clearly this is not some government entity placing a job out for bid to the lowest bidder. There is nothing illegal or even wrong in asking two places what their price is for the same item. The two prices are not the exact same specs, yes, the item is exactly the same, but there is stated differences in distance and familiarity of service.
I agree with 2510 Paul that there may well be a mistake in the process at one place or another or both. I would ask each of them to verify their numbers just to make sure they did not make an error, not specifically saying they were too high or much lower. Surely, the internet could be a source of another price point to validate their numbers, with understanding that that price is also not an exact match.
Then I would weigh the other issues like distance and ease/familiarity of service. Then I would likely buy the less expensive unit, if the numbers come back the same. If dealer A asks about it, tell them the truth, it's usually easiest to remember.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
