Yes, the value of an LBS has a lot to do with the owner. There can be some really different personalities and finding one with a personality type that works with your needs is key to success. A big advantage is if they can fit bikes properly - that is something that online retailers can't offer very well.
I'd argue that supporting some of the more small scale manufacturers is a good thing also. Trek et al. make good bikes, but if you can afford to support and like the designs from smaller scale or custom manufacturers, it is great for the sport.
