The positive side of this is that you know your RD will be in good working order when you get it back, the negative side is you have to pay $60 extra for your RD(stating the obvious here I know). I think if I purchased any used RD I would send it in for a good diagnostic/upgrade no matter what just to make sure I got that extra little piece of mind it was in good working order. The 8500 is a good RD, I ran the x50/non X50 for about a yr 1/2 and it worked fine for me.

I like my Refurbed 8500. Too bad my Redline doesn't have its ramp up.

My Refurb is over a year old now and still sharp as the day I got it back from warranty service, 2 weeks after purchase. No regrets though. Sounds like the OP bought his from another source though.
