People all seem to have different opinions about this one. I personally don't think buying factory refurbished gear is a bad idea.

You will see that most people who own refurb gear are very happy with it and always recommend it. I think there is psychological aspect where people need the new gear feel.

Weigh your options, besides the right refurb gear should come with a warranty.

It's been said that most refurb products are better than when they were brand spankin new. Most of the testing and QC processes are more exhaustive than regular QC.
