Buy Office 365 from ISP or from Microsoft direct?
Primarily interested in a hosted email provider other than Gmail.
ISP sells Office 365 but it is also available direct from Microsoft.
What would be the best option? What value can an ISP or Microsoft direct add?

I have purchased through an ISP. It was exactly the same price. But I have another level of support with my ISP.
I think this is more about what you need and what your requirements are. For instance, I'm a sole trader and I subscribe to Gmail to handle email, calendar and those collaborative products.
I also subscribe to Office 365 directly with Microsoft for purely using the office programs and be compatible with my clients as needed.
My question to you is, "what can your ISP offer you as a reseller?". If you can't see a difference (other than they might be more expensive?) then I would recommend going direct to the source. The more hands you remove from the pie so to speak, the better experience you'll have.
