Is it worth the extra $20?
A refurbished unit would only have a 90 day warranty where as the new one is $20 more and comes with the full year warranty.

Depends on what you're buying. $20 on a $1000 item is insignificant.

You beat me too it.

What is the extra 275 days worth of warranty worth to you? At the HUGE extra expense of 7.3 cents/day it should be obvious which is the better deal.I know what I would do and I wouldn't miss the extra $20.

Yup its worth it. Pulled the trigger

Another way to look at is the first owner of the refurbished unit took the gremlin hit.

It "should" now be the best it can be. Totally checked out for operation.

The new one has the same chance of being the next one to go to be refurbished as any other.

If it is a factory refurbished, I would not have a problem.
I would want more than $20.00 difference (us retirees
are stingy).

Also if you are planing mods that "violate" the warranty
being a refurbished unit not an issue.
