Buying an Amp - Refurb=$309, New=$333, which would you buy?

[VIP_tC 10+ year member]

I want to buy a Lanzar Opti2000d and see that lanzar is selling refurbs for $309 plus shipping and Ikesound has them for $333 plus ship for a new one. Although Ikesound only says 1 year warranty and Lanzar shows a 2 year warranty for the refurb. Which would you buy and why? Also is etronics a lanzar authorized dealer? Because they have it new for $319 plus ship... Thanks guys!

Such a close price I would opt for the new one but since you're saying the refurbished one has a longer warrenty I would probably go with that one. Warrenties come in handy( if they're actually worth a ****)

2 year warranty on a refurb is pretty good... Get that one if it's really 2yr...

This is a no brainer. If you can buy direct from the company, with a longer warranty, for a lower price.....Clear choice.

Get the refurbished one from the manufacture. The new one is most likely warrantied just by Ikesound.

Refurb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

much better idea, like some people have said before, they end up being as good as new if it comes out of a good refurb...
