I read your post on used gear and warranties a couple of times. I have mixed emotions. I have not had good luck with used anything. It only takes once to discourage a fellow. You may remember my "last" disaster was a refurbished Toshiba laptop. That was the last straw!

I think that it all boils down to how much risk are you willing to take to save how many $$$$. This could further be magnified by your socio-economic status, hassle factor, ego, and piece of mind.

Guess the bottom line is that whatever works for you. LOL!!!

Right now, I'm in the new with warranty camp.
