Agent Behaviour Question

Need to get some input on a situation;

For a property, that is not local to me and I am interested in, I called and got a bunch of information from the agent. He also answered a number of follow-up questions. I have made an LOI offer on the property and they just sent the sign-back (we are not that far apart). As part of the sign-back an issue came up and I asked the agent to get some comparison information.

His response was that he was not willing to invest the time / effort to get the information until I made the trip to see the property. I am not willing to do this until it is at least under LOI (preferably purchase agreement).

I have not signed anything nor was there any discussion that he was representing me. In fact, he has been careful to not tell me to much about the sellers. Currently, if this transaction happened, he would double end it (more power to him!). But with his response, I am thinking of bring another agent I know in the market into the picture to get the information I am asking for and he would get the commission split.

Is it inappropriate to bring anther agent into the picture at this point?
