Refurbished or New FC7000-75

[jinx]

I was looking at a Graphtec FC7000-75 refurbished or new Graphtec FC7000-75MK2 for when I upgrade my plotter. Anyone buy a refurbished one? Any issues or downsides to that? You can save a good chunk of money by buying refurbished, and after searching the forums it doesn't appear there is a huge difference between the original and the MK2 - at least nothing that would push me to buy the new one.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Luke

Any warranty? What's the price difference?

The FC series are bulletproof - I don't think I'd be too afraid of a used or refurbished Graphtec. You really didn't offer enough details for me to recommend one way over the other.

Good Luck!
