the way I see it, factory refurbished products are possibly better than new,
For example, any company is gonna have a few deffective units, even vexilar.
The chances of getting a bad unit might be better with a new machine,
than with a "fixed" machine... (The problem has allready been solved)
I have heard before that electronic companies put their refurbished products
through much more testing than their new products. I would not be worried
